A few days ago, OM checked several names on their short list in the event of the departure of Elye Wahi. The Marseille club particularly appreciates the qualities of Santiago Gimenez (23 years old, under contract until June 2027 with Feyenoord) and puts him at the top of its list. It must be said that this Mexican striker born in Buenos Aires has been panicking the scorers in the Netherlands in the Eredivisie for two seasons and is delighting with his qualities, namely a formidable skill in the area and an ability to score with both feet and with his head. .
But obviously with 64 goals and 14 assists delivered in 104 matches in all competitions, Gimenez's talent goes beyond the borders of the Netherlands. Better, since his return from injury in mid-November after two months of unavailability following a thigh problem, he has panicked the Champions League defenses with 4 goals and an assist in 3 matches against Manchester City, Sparta Prague and against Bayern Munich this Wednesday. Great architect of Feyenoord's fine run in the championship phase of the Champions League (the Dutch club is 11th and still in the running for direct qualification in the 1/8 finals), Santiago Gimenez could have experienced his last match in C1 with the Rotterdam club.
AC Milan and Feyenoord in talks for Gimenez
If OM remains on the lookout, its XXL performance and its goal against Bayern combined with AC Milan's offensive regarding the Mexican striker leave very little chance for the French club to stay in the race. According to our information, the Lombard club has very clearly accelerated in recent hours and there is discussion between the two clubs regarding a transfer of Gimenez this winter to Milan. If the progress of the discussions has not filtered through, certain Dutch sources indicate that we could move towards a deal estimated between €35 and €40 million.
As for the player, he never hid that he carried AC Milan in his heart and that it would be a dream for him to play at San Siro. Questioned after the match won largely by Feyenoord against Bayern, the main interested party preferred to touch on his future, leaving his destiny in the hands of… God: “is this my last match at Feyenoord? Let's see what happens. These are crucial weeks, I leave everything in God's hands. I love Feyenoord and I love these fans who have given me a lot since day one“, he explained. To be continued.
