The Argentine forward joined the Spanish team on loan from Anderlecht and was chosen over Chimy Ávila, who is of interest to Xeneize.

The Argentine forward Luis Vázquez will leave Anderlecht of Belgium and move on loan to Getafe of Spain until June of this year, with a purchase option. This move could benefit Boca, the previous club of the number nine, by opening the door for another reinforcement.

The Spanish side had reached an agreement to sign Chimy Ávila weeks ago, but the transfer never materialized due to financial complications and, with the arrival of the player born in Recreo, everything indicates that Getafe will withdraw from pursuing the Betis player.

Given this scenario, the future of the 31-year-old striker, who started against Villarreal due to Cucho Hernández’s injury, is uncertain. It is known that Boca is interested in signing him and, since the transfer of Alexis Cuello is at risk of falling through, he emerges as a viable option.

We’ll have to see what happens in the coming hours (the transfer window in Argentina closes this Tuesday, although it is expected to be extended), but Vázquez’s arrival at Getafe could open the door for Xeneize to bring in a center forward.

Vázquez, who played 99 matches and scored 16 goals wearing the blue and gold shirt, lost his place at Anderlecht of Belgium, where Boca had sold him in mid-2023, after starting as a regular (116 matches and 18 goals). That’s why his move to Spain is in search of more playing time and to raise his level.
