Following the relative success with the first team lately, Real Madrid have been keeping an extra eye on Alex Jimenez. However, the AC Milan youngster will not leave the club this month, as confirmed by a report.
A few days ago, the Spanish outlet AS reported that Real Madrid are considering an early return for Jimenez, who joined Milan permanently last summer for €5m. However, they will have to wait until the summer to bring him back.
As reported by today’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport (see photo below), Milan have no intention of letting the 19-year-old leave already and have referred to the terms of the deal. Indeed, in the summer, Real Madrid can buy him back for €9m and in 2026, that figure goes up to €12m.
Since mid-December, Jimenez has featured in all eight games between the league and the Supercoppa Italiana, making a difference despite his young age. The Rossoneri also have injury struggles in some of the positions he can play in, so a move this month is definitely ruled out.
Furthermore, in the summer, Milan intend to renegotiate the deal with Real Madrid as they would like to remove the buy-back clauses. This will likely require more cash to be invested in the player, but it could certainly be worth it.

Jimenez needs to go back to futuro and develop more. Too amped up when he plays for the senior team, makes mistakes (as he needs to, still developing) then makes errors to make up for the mistakes he made.
Shut up and let the kid play… He needs to adapt and make mistakes… He surely is a talented and hard working boy
RASHAD YOU SHUT UP !!! THE KID HAS DESIRE BUT IS NOT READY FOR THIS LEVEL. ACM 1899 IS CORRECT . HE MEANS WELL BUT GETS TOO EXCITED WITH HIS PLAY. (needs to play with the younger team and bring him up once in a while)
Isn’t he just a less developed version of Saelemaekers?
So I presume we’ll loan with an option (always an option) to our rivals?
And then we’ll find another version of Saelemaekers and the process will start again.
And again and again and again.
Because that’s what football is about.
