La Liga
The beginning of this 2026 has shaken the offices of La Ribera with an offer that could change the fate of Boca Juniors' attack. Ezequiel Chimy Ávila has expressed his strong intention to wear the Boca Juniors jersey after a complex period in European football. Although the Rosario forward had an advanced pre-agreement with Getafe, the financial obstacles of the Madrid club have put the operation on hold.
This critical situation in the Old Continent opens up a unique opportunity for the Football Council to speed up the necessary procedures. The lack of playing time at Real Betis motivates the 31-year-old forward to seek a fresh start in Argentine football.
Boca Juniors' real interest in the Betis forward
Boca Juniors carefully analyzes the numbers of an operation that excites the fans following the player's recent gestures on social media. Journalist Emiliano Raddi confirmed that the Football Council is evaluating the economic impact before making a formal offer to the Seville club.
Informal talks have already begun to understand the player's salary demands and the exit conditions that the Betis team would impose. While the management defines its budget, the forward does not hide his desire and constantly engages with posts related to his beloved club. The need to add internal competition in the attack is an absolute priority for the coaching staff led by Diego Martínez this season.
Chimy Ávila's excitement and the fans' clamor
The 2026 Boca Juniors seeks players with class and personality, qualities that the former Osasuna player has demonstrated abundantly in Spain. A simple comment with emojis on Leandro Paredes' social media was enough to make the Boca fans explode with welcoming messages. "We await you with open arms," was the battle cry of the supporters who see the Rosario player as the ideal partner for Merentiel.
His ability to play on the wings or as a center forward offers tactical variations that the current team needs to compete on all fronts. Despite Getafe's interest, the player's personal desire weighs heavily, and his priority today is to head to Argentina.
Boca Juniors' economic strategy
The financial structure of the La Ribera club must be accurate to secure the arrival of a player who still holds value in the European market. Signing for Boca Juniors involves a shared effort where the player will need to adjust his financial demands to fit into the local scheme. The next hours will be crucial if the club decides to move forward firmly before the Spanish teams resolve their Financial Fair Play issues.
Betis is willing to negotiate an exit, provided the amount is beneficial to relieve its own wage bill in this winter market. The international experience of the forward would be a qualitative leap for a squad dreaming of regaining continental glory soon.
