Ajax have confirmed that defender Gaston Ávila has joined Rosario Central on loan, allowing the Argentine to return to his home country in search of regular first-team football. The 23-year-old left-sided centre-back leaves Amsterdam after a challenging spell marked by limited minutes and fitness issues. Ajax said the temporary move is intended to give Ávila consistent playing time and help him regain rhythm and confidence.

Ávila, who previously impressed in Argentina before moving to Europe, is expected to play a key role in Rosario Central’s defensive setup for the remainder of the loan period. The deal does not include a permanent transfer clause, with Ajax retaining his registration and long-term rights. Ajax officials described the move as a “sporting decision” that benefits both the player and the club, as the Dutch side continues to reshape its squad amid a transitional season.

Rosario Central welcomed Ávila back to Argentine football, highlighting his versatility and left-footed balance as valuable additions to the squad. The defender is expected to link up with his new teammates immediately and could be available for selection in the coming weeks, subject to registration formalities.
