Uruguayan Federico Viñas would have everything ready to return to Liga MX. His destination would not be Club León. Reports link the Uruguayan to the Red Devils of Toluca. Viñas played in the 2026 World Cup with Uruguay.

Federico Viñas played last season in Spain with Real Oviedo. The South American attacker played 34 games in which he was able to score 9 goals and grant 1 assist. Viñas was sent off 3 times in the season with Oviedo.

Although his numbers were not so outstanding, Federico Viñas would have had the opportunity to remain in Europe. The Uruguayan would have had offers from Russian and Spanish football. But the Red Devils of Toluca went ahead.

According to information from René Tovar from Diario Récord, the Uruguayan soccer player would have rejected formal and quite striking offers from teams in the Russian league or also to stay in Spain, reported the Mexican portal.

The report details that Federico Viñas' return to Liga MX is very close. All that remains is for the agreement to be closed for Viñas to be announced as a new Toluca player and join the ranks of Antonio El Turco Mohamed.

The only thing missing is the signature of the former América and León player for said agreement to be made official, which will leave the Uruguayan World Cup player linked to a reinforced scarlet team, the report adds.

Federico Viñas at the 2026 World Cup

The 28-year-old Uruguayan forward saw minutes in the 2026 World Cup. Marcelo Bielsa trusted his abilities, but he could not reverse the poor collective play of the Charrúas. Federico Viñas saw action in Uruguay's three World Cup matches.

Federico Viñas left the World Cup blank. In just over 190 minutes on the field, Viñas was unable to score in matches against Saudi Arabia, Cape Verde and Spain.
