AC Milan are looking to sign a striker ahead of next season, following Olivier Giroud’s departure, and several targets are on their radar. Santiago Gimenez is one of them and he’s indeed a concrete one, following ‘several’ meetings with the club.
Giroud has said goodbye to the Rossoneri, making his final appearance in the friendly against Roma yesterday, and a new era is now upon. The likes of Joshua Zirkzee and Benjamin Sesko are both at the top of the wish list, but there is another name to keep an eye on as well.
According to Corriere dello Sport (via Radio Rossonera), Santiago Gimenez is a concrete target for the Rossoneri after having had ‘several’ meetings with the club. Coming off a 26-goal season with Feyenoord, the latter have landed on an initial price tag of around €50m.
The cost would be similar to Zirkzee and Sesko, in other words, but it could still be an ‘easier’ operation for Milan to make. Zirkzee’s agent, for example, is asking for very high commission fees and the competition for Sesko is indeed fierce.
In any case, Gimenez is a concrete target for the Rossoneri and shouldn’t be forgotten amid all the rumours about Zirkzee and Sesko. The 23-year-old has impressed Geoffrey Moncada and his team a lot, but it remains to be seen if a move will be made.
