O'Higgins advances in negotiations for Tomás Avilés, CF Montreal defender
According to César Luis Merlo, O'Higgins is in advanced negotiations to sign Tomás Avilés, CF Montreal defender, in a loan agreement.
César Luis Merlo reported that O'Higgins has taken an important step in the Chilean market by pursuing the loan of Tomás Avilés, a 22-year-old Argentine defender currently playing for CF Montreal. The agreement would involve a loan until the end of the year, with no purchase option.
Avilés, who plays as a centre-back, has a market value of €2,500,000 and his contract with CF Montreal runs until December 31, 2026. His arrival at O'Higgins could bolster the defense of the Chilean club, which is looking to improve its performance in the league.
While Merlo mentions that a loan agreement is already in progress, the move is not yet finalized, meaning that the final details must be worked out between the clubs. This operation could represent a great opportunity for Avilés, who is looking to gain playing time on the field and continue his professional development in Chilean football.
