Betis Forward Comments on Boca Juniors' Interest

“Maybe tomorrow we don't get up,” he began, and added: “If we knew what was going to happen in the future, I would play the lottery tomorrow.” On the other hand, he clarified that the Boca issue is a matter for the board and my agent. After the match, the forward was asked about Boca's interest, although he did not want to give too many details. “I have a contract and I think day by day about my work, and do things well here at Betis. I have to take care of doing my job well, because if I now focus on making negotiations, on talking about whether I leave or stay, then I am neglecting my work… What happens extradeportively is already a matter for the agent and the board.” For now, Boca is having a very weak transfer window, as it has been negotiating with Atlético Nacional for Colombian winger Marino Hinestroza for almost a month and has not yet reached an agreement. No one ever knows what will happen tomorrow. Buenos Aires, January 15 (NA) – Boca will play in the Copa Libertadores again after two years of absence and is looking to reinforce itself in the best possible way, with the aim of achieving the long-awaited “seventh.” For this reason, from the club's board, chaired by Juan Román Riquelme, they have shown interest in forward Ezequiel “Chimy” Ávila, who is having a good spell at Betis in Spain, as learned by the Argentine News Agency. Ávila, 31, has been in the “Old Continent” for almost a decade and comes off scoring a double against Elche in the 2-1 win in the Copa del Rey round of 16.
