Chimy Ávila faces a decisive January for his immediate future. The Spanish-Argentinian forward is not part of Manuel Pellegrini's plans, and Real Betis is already working to finalize his departure in the coming hours, with Getafe as the preferred destination.

The move is not impromptu. For weeks, the Betis sports management has been realizing that the striker's profile doesn't fit the offensive style sought by the Chilean coach to compete with ambition in LaLiga and Europe.

Chimy Ávila doesn't fit in the new Betis

The sporting situation of Chimy Ávila is clear. He is the player with the fewest minutes played this season among the first team, excluding the injured Isco and the third goalkeeper, Adrián. A fact that reflects his complete loss of prominence.

According to EstadioDeportivo, Manuel Pellegrini has opted for a striker's profile that is more associative, with greater ability to play between the lines and adapt to an elaborate offensive system. The former Osasuna player does not meet those requirements.

Real Betis seeks to lighten the wage bill

At Real Betis, they understand that Chimy Ávila's exit is strategic. Freeing up the wage bill would enable Manu Fajardo to progress in the arrival of a new striker who can raise the competitive level of the squad.

The main target remains Fábio Silva, although the club does not want to depend on a single operation. To achieve this, it is essential to close exits, with the departure of the Argentine forward being a priority.

Getafe, chosen destination by the player

Getafe is the most advanced option. The player himself has reached an agreement with the Azulones club to play, at least, until June 30. Bordalás considers him a key piece for the latter part of the season.

The intensity, aggressiveness, and competitive character of Chimy Ávila fit perfectly with the DNA of Getafe, a team in urgent need of reinforcements to survive in LaLiga.

Agreement between clubs, still pending

Despite negotiations between Betis and Getafe for days, the final agreement between clubs is not yet closed. The preferred scenario is a loan with an option to buy, a situation that satisfies both parties.

Real Betis prioritizes a clean exit that does not generate contractual conflicts, while Getafe aims to strengthen without excessively compromising its financial margin.

The final decision depends on LaLiga

The main obstacle is not the clubs but LaLiga. Getafe needs the approval of the organization to register players in this January market due to its administrative situation.

Bordalás has been very clear in his public statements, stating that he competes each match with a very short squad. Currently, the club has five unused player slots.

Institutional pressure and sporting urgency

Getafe President, Ángel Torres, has publicly expressed his concern. The club has the financial means to make signings but relies on a favorable decision from LaLiga and Javier Tebas.

Meanwhile, Chimy Ávila waits. The forward knows his time at Real Betis is over and hopes the situation will be resolved after the holidays.

An imminent move

In Heliópolis, they do not want to drag out the matter. Real Betis' intention is to finalize the operation as soon as possible to focus on strengthening the squad and continue striving for ambitious goals in LaLiga and Europe.

Chimy's departure from Betis depends on receiving approval from LaLiga to change clubs; once granted, the Argentine will be Getafe's new reinforcement under José Bordalás.
