Chimy Ávila is no longer the offensive reference that sparked excitement upon his arrival at Real Betis. With reduced minutes and diminished impact, his continuity at the Verdiblanco club is more than compromised.

The Argentine arrived in February 2024 as a signing to provide goals and character to Betis, but his performance has not lived up to expectations and, according to internal sources, he will be one of the team's discards in the next winter transfer window.

The Decline of Chimy Ávila at Betis

Chimy Ávila featured in 19 matches of LaLiga 2024-25, but only scored 2 goals in 669 minutes played, showing a decline in his offensive contribution.

In the current 2025-26 season, he has made just 3 appearances and played 40 minutes in LaLiga, without goals to support his position in the team's lineup.

Statistics also indicate that his performance per 90 minutes is clearly below his best seasons, further justifying Betis' lack of investment in him.

Real Betis' Plan with Chimy Ávila

From the Betis environment, it is acknowledged that Chimy Ávila no longer fits as a vital piece for European and LaLiga goals, and his departure is seen as a way to free up wages and space in the squad.

Manuel Pellegrini has rotated the Argentine with other forwards, but the coach himself has publicly expressed the need for higher levels of performance and determination from the available attacking players.

The Andalusian club would prefer a loan over a permanent sale, considering Ávila's salary and contract (valid until 2027) complicate a departure at a moderate price.

Reasons for Chimy Ávila's Departure

Factors that have led to Chimy Ávila's departure include lack of playing time, decreasing speed, and internal competition preventing him from regaining his former prominence.

His injury history and the passage of time also weigh in: at 31 years old, the forward no longer has the explosive profile he had in previous seasons.

Added to this is the demand to compete for European spots and perhaps more, where Betis cannot afford players who do not contribute regularly.

What's Next for Chimy Ávila?

In the January market, Chimy Ávila is expected to receive offers from clubs with less offensive pressure or seeking specific attacking experience. For Betis, this exit door will lead to a proper reorganization.

The Argentine striker will look for a scenario where he is guaranteed a leading role, and that is unlikely to happen at Heliópolis if he continues at this level of participation.

For Betis, his hypothetical departure means freeing up space, ensuring minutes for other emerging players, and facing the final stretch of the season with a more streamlined offensive profile.

In conclusion, Chimy Ávila concludes a chapter at Real Betis. His limited impact, the team's demands, and the need for strategic decisions have hastened his exit. The winter transfer market seems to be his moment, and the Argentine will weigh between continuity or a move.
