Fabrizio Romano has suggested that Santiago Gimenez will be evaluated by the AC Milan management between now and January.
There has been a lot of noise surrounding Gimenez since the summer transfer window, when he was linked with both a sale and heading to Roma in a swap deal involving Artem Dovbyk. His performances on the field have not calmed things down since, however.
The Mexican striker does not yet have a league goal and is currently sidelined with an ankle problem that he claims to have been carrying for months. Amid the stories that Milan are looking at centre-forwards in view of the winter, this naturally leads to more speculation about Gimenez.
Romano’s update
In a video update on his Italian YouTube channel – in which he also spoke about the Joaquin Panichelli and Robert Lewandowski links – Fabrizio Romano commented on the future of Gimenez.
“We’ll see how and when Santiago Gimenez returns from this injury. Now there’s the break, so he’ll better understand when to return once he feels back in top form.
“But clearly, the next month, month and a half will be very important in understanding what Milan will do in January in terms of attack. As for Mateo Pellegrino, we don’t see a particularly hot name for the January transfer window.”
Nah he is done. He is gonna feel even more pressure after he returns with so little time left. Thanks for your hard work but we need someone who can score.
We shouldn’t loan him/sell him during the winter, but we definetly need another striker no later than this winter.
Loan in Zirkzee before Roma does. Sell off Santi in the summer, loan out Nkunku if he doesn’t improve and bring in a better striker that Allegri actually asked for.
Proven strikers or high potential ones with some but of consistency ask for wages and agent fees the club don’t want to pay. The cost of a high grade player that scores can’t be skimped on unfortunately.
