Real Betis has made a clear decision regarding the immediate future of Chimy Ávila. Despite the sports management working until the end of the market to find a way out for the Argentine forward, he will continue to wear the green and white shirt, at least until January.

This resolution opens a window of opportunity for the attacker, who will need to make the most of the minutes that Manuel Pellegrini can offer him in a season where his prominence has plummeted.

Real Betis decides to keep Chimy Ávila... until January

As reported by EstadioDeportivo, the club had aimed to part ways with him to free up space in the squad and bolster the Betis attack, where names like Cucho Hernández and Cedric Bakambu have emerged as the main offensive references. However, negotiations with clubs from Greece, Turkey, Mexico, or even Saudi Arabia did not come to fruition. In some cases, the offers did not meet Betis' financial expectations, while in others, the player himself showed no interest in a change of scenery.

It is worth noting that the Heliopolitan club spent four million euros in January 2024 to sign him from Osasuna, an investment that now seems hard to recoup due to the Argentine's poor performance and constant physical issues. Nevertheless, the Verdiblanco entity is willing to negotiate in winter, even accepting a significant reduction, to recover part of the investment made.

For now, all signs point to Chimy Ávila staying in Seville, awaiting the winter market to reopen. It will be then when Betis will list him for transfer again, with the demand that a proposal convincing to both the club and the player should arise.

Until then, the Rosario's situation will largely depend on his ability to prove himself on the field. Pellegrini has only granted him 40 minutes this season, reflecting his secondary role within the squad. However, football always offers second chances, and this period until January could become his lifeline.

Chimy Ávila will remain at Betis until January

The fans, critical of his low level since his arrival, await an immediate reaction. In Heliópolis, they trust that if he can overcome the injury setbacks, he might bring intensity, grit, and goals, qualities that always characterized him in his prime. Now, with the market closed, Real Betis Balompié puts its trust in him. The ball is in his court: either he takes advantage of this time to prove his worth or he will inevitably head towards the exit door in January.

Chimy has a final chance to reconcile with the fans and regain some of the lost prominence. If he responds on the field, he may pave a way at the Villamarín; otherwise, his future will be far from Seville in the next market.
