The information was initially reported by journalist Germán García Grova and confirmed by ge. According to the Argentine press, the tricolor's offer is around 3 million dollars (about R$ 15 million).

Ávalos emerges as an alternative after Flu distanced itself from negotiations for Alexis Cuello from San Lorenzo, who was the main target of the management for the position.

The striker has also faced Fluminense before. In 2023, when he played for Argentinos Juniors, he was on the field against the Tricolor in a continental competition.

Signing a number 9 is one of the club's priorities in this transfer window. Internally, the management believes that the squad needs another option for the position, especially given the busy schedule of the season.
