Chimy Ávila to Boca: Riquelme’s Call Revealed – Olé

Even without Marino Hinestroza, it could be said that Boca will insist on that area of the pitch in this market. With Miguel Merentiel as the only fixed option (and now with muscle discomfort)and Milton Gimenez with ups and downs and Edinson Cavani Struggling with injuries, the position seemed in need of a revamp. Among the names that appeared was Ezequiel Avila31-year-old forward from Betis, emerged from Xeneize and friend of Leandro Paredes. And now, his representative activated the topic and left a message for Juan Román Riquelme…

“He made inferiors in Boca, he has a sense of belonging, he knows what the Boca World is, he knows it and it wouldn’t bother him. Mundo Boca is very big, there are players who find it difficult and others who don’t. Chimy knows him. On the other hand, he is a forward who would contribute a lot,” said Carlos Bilicich, Chimy’s agent.

His statements come after the club’s polls for Chimy, amid interest from Getafe as well, which has now added Luis Vazqueza former Boca. In this context, and although the player himself clarified that his intention is to continue in Europe for a while longer, His representative made it clear that a call from Román could change the scenario.

“A call from Riquelme can change history, this changes day by day. What I say today may have to change tomorrow. I know that until the end of the pass book anything can happen. If the president of Boca calls him and tells him that he is interested, maybe it will awaken his desire,” he said on TyC Sports.

And he dismissed Getafe’s interest: “Now, if he has to leave Betis, he is going to leave in the best way. They received us very well and the club behaved very well with him. We are not anyone’s second option. Getafe was interested, but they already hired another striker, so in this market that no longer applies.”

The reality is that Chimy had not been having many minutes this semester, although he comes from being a hero in the Copa del Rey after scoring two goals against Elchewhich gave them qualification for the quarterfinals. In this framework, Bilicich clarified that Although Román’s call can move the board, the forward feels comfortable in Seville.

“Today, as I always say, to leave no doubt, he is a Betis player. He feels very comfortable in the club, he has a contract, he is fine. He’s getting back to his level. He seems happy, he’s getting more minutes. “He likes to play,” he explained.

“In this case, we have not met yet. We are going to have the meeting this week. But it is not the market in which Betis should move. Because I think he is recovering his level, he feels comfortable, The fans treat him well. They know what it can give. Maybe in June I’ll say yes. I think it’s that way,” he concluded.
