Chelsea are thinking about a late move to sign Santiago Gimenez from AC Milan, with Roma also involved in the merry-go-round.
Gimenez’s agent said just a couple of days ago that her client will not be leaving Milan before the window closes, and despite this there has been a lot of speculation about a possible deadline day departure.

“Gimenez isn’t going anywhere. All the rumours that have emerged, from the first to the last, are untrue. They’re fake news,” Rafaela Pimenta said.

According to the latest from Gianluca Di Marzio, Chelsea are pondering what would be a very late move to sign Gimenez from Milan. If an acceptable bid were to materialise, Milan would then go for Artem Dovbyk of Roma.
The problem is that Roma would need to have a replacement for the Ukrainian lined up, possibly Breel Embolo of AS Monaco. At the moment, it is a ‘complicated striker merry-go-round’ but the parties are at work to try make everyone happy.
However, Fabrizio Romano has already responded to the report from Di Marzio by claiming that Chelsea are in fact not interested in signing Gimenez. Thus, all hopes might well rest on agreeing an exchange with Roma.
It seems more likely now that Di Marzio is pumping his visits today, doing really great. You just concoct a few stories.
this is the day to do it. Otherwise I don’t know that I ever take his stories seriously.
Di Marzio is Romano’s mentor. He learnt his trade from him right here in Milan.
And? He lies all the time.
Why is chelsea after him..😉. He plays like pippo. He had bad luck until now. Hope we will keep him. This crazy management, too many people are involved in calcio mercato thats the problem…hope allegri can work with those players smart after tonight. And let fofana out…he is useless…bring ricci in…
He mus be soo bad since Chelsea and Gasperini likes him.
Could it be our talentless management and manager?
Gimenez is too slow for Serie A, let alone the EPL.
You are playing too much PS% if you think pace is the only quality for a forward. Sorry to say.
Gimenez has many faults, pace being one of them, but he is an excellent poacher. He has an nose for goal, a rarity in todays football.
Can we not just get Vlahovic. Ffs.
Sell and get Sorloth or lukebakio, if it is possible. Gimenez is too weak.
