Santiago Gimenez has been linked with AC Milan and although a move never took place this summer, the player hasn’t given up hope. In a recent interview, he revealed that the Rossoneri tried to sign him and that a move would be a dream.
When it was announced that Olivier Giroud would be leaving Milan, several strikers were linked with the club and Gimenez was one of them. The Mexican had also been mentioned in the past and the interest clearly remains, even if the Rossoneri now are focused on Tammy Abraham.
Speaking to ESPN, Gimenez revealed that Milan made an attempt to sign him on deadline day, even sending an offer to Feyenoord. He also stated that it would be a dream come true to move there one day, with the ‘door still open’.
“The last day of the transfer market was very intense for me. Especially the last hours. AC Milan became very concrete for me, but the deal could not be closed due to the short time and the asking price of Feyenoord.
“Milan is a dream club for me. I grew up with players like Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Kaka. In the end, it didn’t happen, but the fact that there is a lot of interest already gives you the feeling that you are important. For me, of course, the door to Milan is still open,” he stated.
It remains to be seen if Milan will make a new attempt down the line, but the feeling is that the attacking department is complete with Alvaro Morata and Tammy Abraham. Luka Jovic could perhaps leave, but Gimenez would likely not want to be a third-choice striker.
Why leave it till the last hour for a complex recruitment that will take intense negotiations…unless you can meet their requirements without question…
Because they are incompetent and just make things up as they go along. No real plan, just haphazard nonsense .
It would be like if I started a totally new job and had no training
Lets get david and him and throw a double flop party with flopjacks.
Yes leta get them so you can complain later about our awful transfers.
Blow me
David will go to inter in the winter or next season
He won’t. Unless they sell one of the starters.
Epl. A cl playing club. Maybe spurs if they offer enough £££
Unfortunately it’s very unlikely that Morata & Abraham will stay healthy for the whole season so another forward is needed. Gimenez is interesting and has a high scoring ratio but I’m not sure he is the right fit .
“AC Milan became very concrete for me, but the deal could not be closed due to the short time and the asking price of Feyenoord.”
-of course it was,they asked for 50,we offered 16 with a will to go up to 20
Nothing wrong with squeezing the best deal in my opinion. The management have been clear that they plan to spend their money in the best way possible. Which means they will 100% squeeze teams to sell below their asking price. This is something I like. You will lose a lot of negotiations like this but some of them have panned out well – Pulisic, Pavlovic and Fofana.
Have some dignity fgs
It’s only dignity when they don’t come to an agreement, right? When it actually works it’s stellar business?
You’re pretty good in hindsight 😉
Best way posible is giving 15 mil for emerson,stop joking man ,if your limit is 20 you dont go around asking about players that costs 50 , you go and ask for emerson
So losing the best signings more than half the time due to low-balling and poor negotiations, caused by trying to squeeze the other teams is good business in your eyes?? It’s thought processes like yours that makes Milan end up with piss poor and average signings or average lookouts on the market
It’s a good thing you are not part of this already awful management then. It would be more catastrophic than it is right now.
