La Liga
The future of Chimy Ávila clearly points to a change of scenery in the upcoming winter transfer market. The Argentine forward, 31 years old, is not part of Real Betis's sporting plans, and his role this season has been practically minimal.
With a very secondary role under the guidance of Manuel Pellegrini, in Heliópolis, they assume that his departure is only a matter of time. The green and white club is already working on finding a solution that satisfies all parties and allows for freeing up a roster spot that is not being utilized.
A profile without a place in Pellegrini's Betis
Chimy Ávila's time at Real Betis has not met the expectations generated by his arrival. The forward never quite fit into the playing style of the Chilean coach, based on possession, controlling the rhythm, and offensive mobility. His more physical, aggressive, and direct profile has been overshadowed in a context that prioritizes a different type of forwards.
This season, his appearances have been sporadic and always from a background role. Pellegrini has opted for other attacking alternatives, making it clear that the Argentine is not a significant piece in his rotation. Given this scenario, keeping the player in the squad makes no sense from both a sporting and economic standpoint.
Betis, aware of the situation, has set an affordable price to facilitate the operation. The transfer would be finalized around one and a half million euros, a figure accessible to several clubs, considering also that the player's salary is around one million euros per season.
Getafe takes the lead
In Spanish football, the club in the best position is Getafe. At the Coliseum, they believe Chimy Ávila naturally fits the team's style and, especially, in the approach of José Bordalás. His competitive spirit, intensity, and ability to unsettle rival defenses are highly valued qualities by the Azulones coach.
Getafe sees in the Argentine an opportunity to strengthen the attack with an experienced player accustomed to competing in demanding contexts. Furthermore, his adaptation would be immediate, as he is a player who knows LaLiga perfectly and does not require an acclimatization period.

Preliminary discussions have taken place, and the interest is real. However, Getafe is not the only contender in the race, and in recent hours, a competitor with a difficult-to-match emotional weight has emerged.
Boca Juniors and the sentimental factor
Boca Juniors has entered forcefully into the battle for Chimy Ávila. The forward maintains a special connection with the xeneize club, where he developed in his youth and shared a dressing room with Leandro Paredes. This shared past has reignited interest and opened a path that could be decisive.
For Boca, the signing represents an opportunity to regain a player with a competitive DNA and character, two traits highly valued at the Bombonera. For the player, returning to Argentina and doing so at a top-level club represents an enticing option both in terms of sports and personally.
The sentimental factor works in favor of the Argentine team, which also can offer him an important role within the team. Although Getafe remains a strong alternative from a competitive standpoint, Boca has a distinctive argument that could tip the scales.
Real Betis, on the other hand, remains on standby. With a clear asking price and the willingness to facilitate the transfer, Heliópolis understands that the operation will be resolved in January. Chimy Ávila has a market, has options, and everything indicates that his time in green and white is coming to an end. The final decision will depend on whether continuity in LaLiga or a return home weighs more.
