Matías Viña, 28, signs with Cruzeiro until the end of 2026 from Flamengo, backed by River Plate. The Uruguayan left-back, who participated in the 2022 World Cup, seeks to rebuild his sporting credentials before the 2026 World Cup. After a serious knee injury in 2024, Viña regains a regular competitive platform in Brazil. His return to top level is a potential asset for the Uruguayan national team in the qualifiers and the final phase in North America.
