AC Milan opted to buy Alex Jimenez in the summer, but he has remained in the youth ranks. However, a promotion should be in store…
Whilst the Milan Futuro side failed to win again this weekend, there was another fine performance from the young Spaniard, and the question must be asked about his future. In the summer, Zlatan Ibrahimovic stated he would be the deputy to Theo Hernandez, but this has not yet been the case.
For this reason, Calciomercato.com asks if promotion to the senior team does not come now, when will it? The right-back is showing ‘quality and personality’ way above the level of the third tier, but there has been no movement above.
From Ibra’s summer statements, the recent weeks would have been the perfect chance to assess his level – possibly most so this weekend against Monza, when Filippo Terracciano was selected at right-back.
However, Paulo Fonseca opted against using the Spaniard. The longer that the Portuguese waits to include him in the ‘rotation’ will potentially stall his development, and whilst the goal of the Futuro is to allow the Rossoneri to not rush, it cannot be overdone.
With Theo back in the squad, and three right-backs at Fonseca’s disposal, perhaps the current window has closed. However, it could’ve at least seen a glimpse of the former Real Madrid man.
His problem is his defensive awareness. It is not good enough yet. As a wingback in 3-5-2 he would be great. Fearless and dangerous going forward.
No in the 4-2-3-1 is perfect for Acmilan I would prefer Acmilan should bring Jimenez into the first team let’s send terraciano to the series B or c I don’t understand what that guy is playing let give Jimenez a chance to play Calabria wing he would definitely make impact
The management are so clueless that they don’t even know some quality players to add to the squad,Alex Jimenez would be great if given a chance is some games..Forza Milan
Bring him in – we don’t have a plethora of RBs atm
He’s not a fullback. He’s a winger. And since we’re playing with all our guns out (Leao-Puli-Chuk) he would come great as a sub for our wingers.
