MN: Milan keep Gimenez in mind as striker shortlist dwindles

By Euan Burns -

AC Milan are keeping Feyenoord striker Santiago Gimenez firmly in their sights now that many of their favoured striker targets are committing their futures to other clubs or proving hard to acquire. 

As reported by Milan News, the Rossoneri are making sure that they have plenty of options available given they have to add at least one high-profile striker to the squad this summer now that Olivier Giroud has departed.

With only Luka Jovic at the club as a senior striker, Zirkzee has been the assumed target but the agent’s commissions have slowed the entire move down and put it into jeopardy.

One of the main alternatives was Ukrainian striker Artem Dovbyk, but he has now committed himself to Girona for at least another season.

That means that Gimenez’s name becomes more important, a Mexican striker that Milan have been linked with for a very long time.

He scored 23 league goals last season for Feyenoord and got 15 the year before which means he has two seasons of consistent scoring under his belt.

Being 1.83m tall, he closer represents Olivier Giroud in terms of frame and has great jumping reach. Feyenoord value him at about €50m but Milan would likely try to sign him for less.

  1. Stop having him in mind and actually make a offer for once and don’t make a offer that is for 12m less than he actually is worth

  2. There is only one true. We really don’t know which player they want to buy.
    First Zirkzee, then Dovbyk, then Lukaku and Guirassy, fanny topic about how we want Broja, for one day there was Demirovic, last two days we want to buy Morata…
    In the case of AC Milan , Fabrizio Romano talk only about Zirkzee and Emerson Royal … every other name can be fable from jurnalist. And another problem is EURO , everyone want to talk about their future after turnament…
    I’m optimistic and I try to have faith in our management (after last mercato) but this all bullshit are tiring.. Mercato starting in 1.7. but I think our mercato start around 15.7. after the turnament.
