Aris Thessaloniki expressed interest in Chimy Ávila by making two offers at different times to Real Betis for his acquisition. Nevertheless, the team from Seville, Real Betis, turned down both proposals. Although Ávila was regarded as a key player by Betis, he was actually on the transfer list due to his limited role and was coming off a mediocre second half of the season, having participated in only six games. The Spanish media indicated that his fit within the tactical plan of Betis was in question, suggesting the possibility of his transfer remained open. Aris presented their offers during a period of uncertainty about Loren Morón's future at Betis, amid rumors of his sale to a Saudi Arabian club.

Chimy Ávila, an Argentine forward at Real Betis, is reportedly looking to exit the club in the upcoming winter transfer market. Despite having a contract that runs until 2027, Ávila has faced challenges including expulsions and injuries, which have resulted in limited playing time and performance. Betis is willing to assist in his departure due to the lack of trust from coach Manuel Pellegrini. Ávila has accumulated only 328 minutes of play across 9 matches this season, managing to score once and provide one assist.

Real Betis is considering offloading players like Chimy Ávila to make room for new signings as they have only one available spot left in the squad.
