This is the name that has been stirring up Canebière for several days: Santiago Gimenez. The Mexican international striker playing for Feyenoord Rotterdam was identified by the management of Olympique de Marseille as an ideal replacement for Elye Wahi, announced at Eintracht Frankfurt.
Clinical, referenced, obsessed with the goal, the left-hander ticks a lot of boxes to become one of the darlings of the Stade Vélodrole. The arrival of a scorer of this caliber would allow theMarseille Olympic to satisfy its ambitions for the second part of the season. But this file promises to be very difficult to finalize…
2 major obstacles for OM in the Gimenez case
The first obstacle for Olympique de Marseille will obviously be financial: several Dutch media confirm that Feyenoord Rotterdam would not intend to let go of its offensive star for compensation less than 35 million euros. An extremely substantial sum for OM. Gimenez would be a big blow at a big cost…
