The Red Devils of Toluca managed to convince Federico Viñas to have a new internship in Mexico. The Uruguayan forward played in Spain last season. Viñas made a complex decision after the 2026 World Cup.
Everything seemed to indicate that Federico Viñas would look for all options to remain in the Old Continent. Viñas played for Real Oviedo in his last season. Furthermore, after the 2026 World Cup, the “Charrúa” striker could have looked for a new opportunity in Europe.
Before his arrival at Toluca was made official, reports mentioned interest in Viñas from other clubs in Europe. The information linked him to teams in Spain and the Russian league. But the family had an important percentage in the Uruguayan's decision.
"After the World Cup, this approach from Toluca arose, it had been talked about for a long time, it had been discussed and it was a family decision. Also in terms of sports, I was very attracted to the team because they have been competing for a long time, winning titles and that for me was also nice to continue competing, to continue with the form and the hunger to continue improving," said the South American forward.
Last season, Federico Viñas played 34 games in Spain's first division. The Uruguayan attacker contributed 9 goals and 1 assist with the Real Oviedo shirt. Viñas remained on the field for just over 2,500 minutes.
Leagues Cup to return to the level
The first test to acclimatize to Concacaf is the Leagues Cup. Toluca already faced Seattle Sounders on the first day and Viñas played a few minutes. Now they have two more matches against major rivals: FC Dallas and Los Angeles FC.
“It's international and I'm very happy to be here, to belong to Toluca, and let's hope that the day goes very well and bring joy to the people,” said Federico Viñas, a soccer player who scored a goal in. his debut in the tournament.
