The return of Chimy Ávila to Argentina
Argentine forward Chimy Ávila has signed with Independiente, returning to his homeland after 9 years in Spain. Ávila, 32, arrives with a free transfer after ending his stint at Real Betis.
With this move, the striker returns to Argentine football nine years after leaving San Lorenzo. After leaving the blue-and-white club in 2017, he developed his entire career in Spain, defending the jerseys of Huesca, Osasuna, and Real Betis.
In the verdiblanco team, he played 68 matches and scored eight goals during his three seasons in Seville. Ávila had been linked with other Argentine football teams in recent weeks, but ultimately, it will be Independiente who counts on his services.
The arrival of the former rojillo player represents the seventh reinforcement of the market for the Avellaneda team. Before him, Imanol Machuca, Santiago Mele, Maximiliano Meza, Matías Abaldo, David Martínez, and Franco Calderón had joined the team.
What does this mean for Argentina?
The incorporation of Ávila represents a key reinforcement for Independiente, which seeks to improve its position in the Argentine football classification table. With this move, the Avellaneda team seeks to consolidate itself as one of the contenders for the championship title.
What's next?
The Argentine striker will be under the orders of coach Jadson Viera to face the new season. Ávila will have the opportunity to demonstrate his worth in Argentine football and help Independiente achieve its goals.
Currently, Independiente is in first place in the Argentine football classification table, with 9 points and a streak of 4 consecutive victories. The Avellaneda team seeks to maintain its leadership and consolidate itself as one of the best teams in the country.
