Riquelme Call Could Shift Chimy Ávila’s Boca Prospects, Agent Says

He remains a Real Betis player under contract to 2027 with no formal talks in place.

Overview

  • Agent Carlos Bilicich said a direct call from Boca's Juan Román Riquelme could "change the story" after initially stating this window is not ideal for a move.
  • Bilicich indicated a preference for a midyear transfer but conceded his position could change quickly as the market develops.
  • Ávila feels comfortable in Seville, is regaining minutes at Betis, scored a Copa del Rey brace against Elche and recently started versus Villarreal.
  • Boca is cited as interested alongside Racing and Rosario Central, while a move to Getafe was discarded after they signed another striker.
  • The player reiterated he is focused on performing for Betis and that any decision on his future rests with his agent and club leadership.
