Rentistas

edit

After moving to the club on loan prior to the 2020 season, Villalba made his league debut for Rentistas on 16 February 2020, playing the entirety of a 2–0 home victory over Nacional.[2] He scored his first and only goal for the club nearly a year later, the first in a 2–1 victory over Cerro Largo.[3] Rentistas wished to extend the loan into June 2021 following its expiry in early 2021, but the two clubs couldn't reach a deal and he returned to Talleres.[4]
