Previous media reports suggested that Alí Ávila, a 22-year-old Mexican centre-forward, was a target for Standard, Celtic, and Dynamo Kyiv. However, the Kyiv club is not interested in the forward and is not considering his candidacy. The club has confirmed that this stance will not change. The information linking Ávila to these clubs is widely seen as a probable attempt by his agents to generate publicity. Ávila is a Querétaro FC player. According to Transfermarkt, he has a contract until 2030 and a current market value of €2.00m. He has scored 7 goals in 14 domestic league appearances in the 2025/2026 season and has been capped 9 times for the Mexico U23 team, scoring 2 goals.
