Alex Jimenez has impressed among the AC Milan ranks this season, and a report has claimed that the club will look to secure his immediate future shortly.
After arriving on loan from Real Madrid this season, Jimenez has quickly settled into Milan life and has been a stellar player for the Primavera side, and he looks like he will have a clear path to first-team football in the coming years.
He already has a few senior appearances under his belt, and after his debut against Cagliari, he was applauded by the fans, given he showed no signs of struggle in the step-up between youth and senior football.
His growth is most notable in the Primavera ranks, and in a season where the squad have been fantastic, he has been one of the standout players in a team of stars.
As Matteo Moretto reports for Relevo, the Rossoneri have been in talks with his parent club, Real Madrid, and in recent days, an agreement has been reached about Jimenez’s future – he will continue at Milan.
This means the Diavolo will pay €5 million for the Spaniard, as agreed in his loan agreement, and as we reported on our Substack. His future pathway will be ironed out in the future, especially with the news of Milan’s U23 team.
Not the new U23 team! No! The main squad! He and Simic! Enough with those games of agents!
Agree. Both of them are good enough the have a space in the first squad of a 26-27 players
Doubt it. Milan will develop him for a bit then real will buy him back for the aging carvajal
They both need to play every game, unless you think they’re good enough to start already? Sitting on the bench will hurt their development…
Great to hear. He’s a really good talent that could become a starter at RB for us.
5 millions for a player who never played in the 1st team, too expensive, they are scamming us.
He is a good players and is future Calabria replacement. Instead of signing Emerson Royale, we should try to either sign Santos from Lille or try Salemaekers there in preseason.
If it’s true, great news as I rate uim highly. one thing I hope they do is remove the buyback clause from RM.
It’s enough we become their feeder club. If they want their past talent to back, they better negotiate from the start.
Whether he remain on main team or u23 team, it’s up to the coach. I do believe he will benefit more from playing regularly at u23, and when we need someone to start – in cup matches or when injury comes – he can play with main team.
He does look ready for the Serie A already.
He will benefit from the U23 team but I do think he’s ready to play at the top level.
