At the end of the first round, the Brazilian coach had anticipated the departure of the team from Las Condes. “Aravena’s departure would be difficult to replace, he is a very high level player who makes the difference and who makes you win a match individually as was the case against the U. “It would be a difficult replacement to find, I hope he stays a little longer, but we have to understand everyone’s time,” he said on that occasion.
In 2023, in dialogue with Sporty the striker had said that his interest was to be able to emigrate to Europe.

It’s the decision of each player, as I tell you, but in my case I want to do things well, I want to focus on Católica and then aspire to Europe. he revealed.
In conversation with this environment, Jorge Aravena came to put his chips so that Monito becomes a permanent position in La Roja. “He is a top player. A youngster who has shown very good conditions,” Mortero said. ““I think that a guy like Aravena is to the taste of all technicians,” added Osvaldo Hurtado.
