There is turmoil at AC Milan. The Rossoneri club has set its sights on Santiago Gimenez, Feyenoord’s Mexican striker, and is working to bring him to the San Siro as early as the January market.
Milan wants to give Sergio Conceiçao a weighty reinforcement in attack, and Gimenez represents the ideal profile. Born in 2001, the Mexican is a dynamic center forward, skilled in finalizing but also in dialoguing with his teammates, capable of playing either as a central striker or paired with another striker. A versatile player, in short, who would fit perfectly with the Portuguese coach’s tactical ideas.
It is certainly not since the arrival of Conceiçao that the Rossoneri like Gimenez: in fact, Ibrahimovic and his staff have been following him for a couple of seasons already, but after he confirmed himself again this year as one of the most prolific bombers in the Eredivisie and in Europe (so far already 15 total goals for him) they finally decided to sink the blow once and for all.
Negotiations are underway and, according to some rumors we have gathered, Milan would have already found an agreement in principle with the player: contract until 2028 with a 2.5 million euro per season salary. However, the most complex step is still missing: finding the economic agreement with the Dutch club.
I problemi dell’affare Gimenez: il Feyenoord e la concorrenza
Despite Milan’s strong interest, the negotiation is not easy. Feyenoord values its bomber’s card at between 30 and 35 million euros, an important figure but in line with the value of a striker who is shining in the Eredivisie and has attracted the attention of several European clubs.
The perplexity is related to the possibility of selling him in January, but the player’s pressure could prove decisive in the end and give Milan the striker it seeks.The Rossoneri are looking to cash in on a few disposals before launching the decisive attack.

But a formula must be found that is not too burdensome for the Rossoneri coffers. One of the hypotheses on the table is that of a loan with mandatory redemption, a solution already adopted in other market operations. Alternatively, the Rossoneri club could propose an offer with a fixed part plus bonuses linked to the player’s performance. In short, the margins to find a meeting point are there, but the green light from Feyenoord is needed.
Another aspect to consider is competition: several clubs are monitoring Gimenez’s situation, ready to insert themselves at the right moment. For this reason, Milan is trying to speed up the pace and close the deal before others come forward. The next few hours could be decisive: the parties are continuing to negotiate and the Rossoneri’s goal is to give Conceição a striker capable of raising the level of the team.
