As the transfer market begins to take shape, Boca continues to evaluate alternatives to strengthen their attack. In this context, one of the names that has been brought to the management's attention in recent days is Ezequiel "Chimy" Ávila, who currently has little prominence at Real Betis.

The forward from Rosario has had an irregular season in Spain, where he played 19 matches and scored just two goals, numbers that explain his possible departure. According to what this medium has been able to find out, the player was offered to the Xeneize and his name is on the list, although there have been no formal negotiations or concrete advances to start a deal.

At Boca, the priority is to understand under what conditions he could leave Betis and what the financial framework of a potential operation would be. However, the current outlook seems to favor his continuity in Europe. In Spain, the newspaper Marca reported that Chimy Ávila is very close to becoming a reinforcement for Getafe, with an agreement already reached with the player and negotiations underway with Betis to facilitate his departure.

Additionally, the coaching staff does not prioritize adding another forward unless a spot opens up or a clear opportunity arises, considering that Miguel Merentiel is currently the only striker offering guarantees, in a position where the physical doubts of Edinson Cavani and the drop in performance of Milton Giménez weigh heavily.
