The striker for Real Betis, Chimy Ávila, will not play for UNAM’s Pumas. Although the clubs had reached an agreement for the player’s loan, the deal fell through at the last moment due to a lack of understanding between the footballer and the Mexican club.

The transfer window in Mexico closed in the early hours of Saturday, with the news of Ávila’s failed move. Both Betis and Pumas had agreed on a simple loan with a mandatory purchase option of two million euros, subject to the fulfillment of certain variables.

For Betis, the agreement was beneficial, as it not only freed up salary space, but also allowed them to avoid losses, considering that the club still has part of the Argentine’s transfer fee to amortize.

However, the negotiation stalled when it came time to agree on personal terms with the player. Despite intense talks that lasted all Friday, the striker and his agent could not reach a consensus with the Mexican board.

With the closure of the Mexican transfer window, Ávila’s options for leaving have been reduced. His possible destinations are now limited to the Qatar Stars League and the United Arab Emirates leagues, whose transfer windows close on September 16 and October 2, respectively.
