Career edit

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]
