The Chimy Ávila's stint at Real Betis is turning into one of the club's biggest disappointments in recent years. What seemed like an exciting signing in January 2024, with the arrival of a determined and charismatic forward, has now become a problem that the Verdiblanco team wants to resolve as soon as possible.

The patience with the Argentine striker has run out, and the message from within is clear: Pellegrini no longer counts on him, and the sports management is working against the clock to find him a new destination.

The latest episode against Deportivo Alavés, where Betis won 1-0, was the final straw. Ávila wasn't even considered by his coach. This decision was not random, as it followed a highly criticized performance against Elche, where he was singled out for lack of defensive effort in the goal conceded. Since then, confidence in him has vanished.

Chimy Ávila has no place in Pellegrini's Betis

Meanwhile, the rise of academy player Pablo García has been decisive. As reported by 'Estadiodeportivo', the young forward has shown energy, defensive work, and the ability to create chances, in stark contrast to Chimy. Pellegrini didn't hesitate to praise the academy player after the Alavés game, highlighting that he “has a bright future.” This contrast reflects the shift in hierarchy within the team: the Argentine has gone from being the first backup choice to staying on the bench without minutes.

Ávila's situation gets even more complicated with the imminent return of Ez Abde and the potential arrival of Antony, a reinforcement being negotiated to strengthen the attack. If confirmed, the Argentine would be completely marginalized, with no place in his coach's plans.

The issue is that Ávila still has a contract until 2027 and earns a salary that doesn't match his contribution. The club signed him for around 4 million euros, expecting goals and leadership, but what they got was a player with no impact and an increasingly irrelevant role. Therefore, the top management at Villamarín has made his departure a top priority before the market closes.

In recent days, there has been talk of a potential interest from Almería, yet nothing has materialized. At 31 years old, Chimy needs playing time and trust, something he won't find in Heliópolis anymore. Meanwhile, Betis doesn't want to prolong a situation that discomforts all parties involved.

The message is clear: Betis is fed up with Chimy Ávila and will do everything possible to ensure his future is far from Benito Villamarín. The Argentine's time in Seville seems to be running out.
