According to Marca, Getafe is optimistic about the possibility of signing Chimy Ávila in the current winter transfer window. An agreement has been reached with the player, while negotiations with Betis are ongoing but have not yet entered their decisive phase. A loan with a purchase option is being discussed, and Getafe is awaiting final approval from LaLiga to carry out the signing.

Getafe CF president Ángel Torres confirmed that Real Betis forward Chimy Ávila is among the players being considered to strengthen the team in the current winter transfer window. Ángel Torres also explained that before any player can be signed, the club must first address salary cap matters with LaLiga. These issues have continued since the departure of Christantus Uche to Crystal Palace, as the English club did not use an agreed-upon purchase option.

Getafe is considering Chimy Ávila, a 31-year-old Argentine-Spanish forward, as a potential addition to their squad in January because he is not part of Manuel Pellegrini's plans at Betis. Betis is seeking a transfer for the player, whose contract runs until June 2027. The club had previously listened to offers for him last summer from clubs that included Pumas UNAM, Aris, and PAOK. Ávila joined Betis from Osasuna during the 2024 winter transfer window for a fee of €4 million plus variables. It is reported that Ávila is open to a transfer to get more playing time. This season in LaLiga, he has made 6 appearances without scoring any goals or providing any assists, and he has not started in any league games. A loan has been suggested as a possible option.
