Villa had previously played forDeportes Tolima, with whom he won the 2018Categoría Primera A (Torneo Apertura), before joiningBoca Juniors in the summer of the same year.[2]
Villa made his debut in theArgentine Primera División on 12 August 2018 againstTalleres de Córdoba.[3] He scored his first goal for Boca in only his fourth appearance, a 3–0 home victory againstClub Atlético Vélez Sarsfield on 3 September 2018.[4] On 7 March 2021, Villa scored a brace in a 7–1 victory overVélez Sarsfield.
Shortly after Boca's elimination from theCopa Libertadores round of 16 in July 2021, Villa tried to force an exit from the club, stopped showing up to training in late July, and left to Colombia that month. Boca received offers fromBenfica andClub Brugge in the summer, all of which were rejected. Eventually Villa was convinced byJuan Román Riquelme to stay at the club, and he returned to Buenos Aires in late August. Villa resumed training the following week and publicly apologized.[5] He also received a sanction of fifteen days away from the field without pay, due to end at the beginning of October. However, Villa did not play again until 29 October, but played with the reserve team, where he scored a goal.[6]
On 16 February 2022, he scored a brace in a 2-1 victory away toAldosivi.
In June 2023, shortly after Villa was handed a suspended sentence, he flew to Colombia, but Boca insisted for him to still show up to training despite not being able to play any matches.[7]
In November 2023, Villa was announced as a new signing for Bulgariantop division sideBeroe Stara Zagora.[8]
In 2024, Villa joinedIndependiente Rivadavia. On 21 November 2024, he scored and assisted as Rivadavia beat River 2-1 at home.[9][10]

At the end of April 2020, a complaint was filed by the player's girlfriend, Daniela Cortés, who accused him of physical and psychological abuse, which she verified through photos.[13] In June 2023 Villa was found guilty of aggravated assault and coercive behaviour. Villa was given a suspended sentence of two years, and Boca announced that he would no longer be part of the club's activities.[14][15]
