Santiago Gimenez arrived at the hotel just a few minutes ago and as you would expect, many fans were present to greet AC Milan’s new striker. In addition to signing autographs, he explained why he chose the Rossoneri.
The negotiations between Milan and Feyenoord took some time, but an agreement was finally reached this morning. Gimenez jumped on a private jet this afternoon and arrived in Milan about an hour ago, arriving at his hotel just a few minutes ago.
As captured by Antonio Vitiello, many fans were present at the hotel and Gimenez even signed some autographs on his way to the hotel entrance. The journalists got a few questions in and the striker explained that he chose Milan because it’s ‘a big club, a very very big club’.

Gimenez will undergo the medical tests tomorrow morning and then, hopefully, sign his contract with Milan. The shirt number is yet to be decisive but as a result of Alvaro Morata leaving, the No.7 will be available. Perhaps Luka Jovic will depart too, in which case the No.9 would be available.
Opens up a big market for us in Mexico. This signing is full of positives. And really 35-40 million isn’t that much for a striker.
This is the Definitiom of a DEI hire.
?
DEI hire, Yes. Shall we explain.
Please do 😂 what’s diversity cr@p got to do with this transfer?
I am not talking about zero qualifications Trump, or his DUI hire, Hegseth. This isn’t the place for it.
Can the editors deal with this clown?
Lmao do you even know what DEI is? It seems to be a hot word for unskilled losers like you.
Sounds like whitey from F***town, Nowhere with no ability has got somethin to say! LOL!
Please ban this comment for racism
Go away you have no life or job skills. That’s why you complain about DEI
No, big market is about marketing, not inclusivity. It is the same as buying Pulisic let us open big Market in USA. Lets hope just like Pulisic, the contribution on the pitch is as good as the contribution on marketing side.
Raul Jimenez is popular in Mexico, Santiago Giménez is still up for debate. His tag is he’s skilled but cracks under pressure and Milan is huge club under more pressure then normal. I hope he is a success for Milan but I’m worried. This team is not built for this type of striker. He has low defensive work rate and we don’t provide service to strikers anyway. Welcome Santi, I pray you bring good fortune to us.
Shall he have testing Rui Patricio ?
I wish 🤞 you a Big Good Luck.
Welcome to AC Milan 😈

Forza Santiago!!!
The only winner is this Milan squad is the current coach.
You can’t fault a man who has won consistently in his life, if he tells you something is not done right believe it.
But how can players who have never won more than. One trophy understand the demand.
We won the scudetto then because inter where losing and drawing matches, it was pure luck on our side. We would not have been able to compete if inter where in form. This team can’t compete because
Debt are lacking, we only have few god starters and our subs are better in wasting time rather than contributing anything.
Tell me,if we are losing and you want a game changer, who would you expect the coach to put.
When leao and theo are acting bad, who would you want the coach to replace them with.
They know they are the good players we have and so they get proud.
But imagine you have a Salah, and a gakpo and a Diaz and a jota and a Nunez in your attack. If you ever get the chance to start ahead of anyone you’ll die on the field to keep that position.
Or you have a mbappe a vini,a Rodrigo, a Bellingham, a brahim Diaz, a guler on the bench. The coach will instantly replace you when you’re under performing and likely to be sold
So this is Milan true problem. Lack of quality players and quality depths.
No competition amongst players.
Look at inter they have replacement for every wing, no player can boast. Tratessi wants to leave cause he couldn’t secure a starting role.
Fratessi will be king in Milan if he is to join us,
That’s how bad it is.
True talk bro
He is better testing Rui Patricio IMO
You said it all, bro
I agree totally with your submission
Welcome Gimenez – huge upgrade over the striker and rb positions 🤞
Unfortunately this appears to be a marketing purchase to grow the fanbase in Mexico. Giminez will not be able to break through Milan’s overall personality problem. Morata, camarda, Abraham, Okafor can all excel if Milan fixed it’s toxicity. Giminez will suffer just like all of them.
Leao and Theo need to be sold. There is no way around that. The lack of motivation and the toxicity cannot be fixed with them there.
Thanks for sharing with your crystal ball.
Oga, shut up 🤫 nah.
A Nigerian Milan fan sighted
I am also from Nigeria 🇳🇬
Naija💪💪
Is there a Milan Fan base group you’re part of
My people, how una dey, make we link up
👍
We should create one then if there isn’t any already, I am not part of any actually.
Am game; very interesting n it’s a lovely idea
Yes ooo let’s create like a WhatsApp group
I totally agree with you 💯
Re what number he will wear. I thought there was a rule that you couldn’t reuse a shirt number on a different player in the same season. Like Morata’s 7 in this case.
???
Once a player is registered with a number at the beginning of the season, that number is off limits for that squad, unless the player is sold and then their number goes to being unregistered and is fair game. Therefore with Morata sold, 7 is free. But Jovic could not give him 9 even if he wanted. That’s my understanding.
Lol people who throw DEI around just use it so they don’t say racist names. Hiding their true selves of racists.
remember, those are the White and Terrified ones. LOL!
you know Gimenez is White
You cant even spell right, brainless troll.
Those it matter, quit that!
Why does someone’s opinion make you crash out? Are you DEI hire? It’s okay if you are.
Welcome Gimenez I hope you become a Hugo Sanchez for us.
Forza Milan
Viva México cabrones!! Forza Milan!!
A very good signing, I have a good feeling about this move.
Welcome bro
A milan fan from Nigeria
Fyi. This is the only more than 1 season 20+goal player that we had since giroud or in redbird era. So for everyone think santi is one season wonder please lets hope together he excel at our club.
Ha! Plenty naija Milan fans. Make we create group for what’s app or IG strictly to discuss Milan
Whomever moderates these boards needs to deal with the muppet spewing racist bullshit. It’s been ridiculous. Some greasy haired ignoramus yapping about shipping out “the blacks and the Arabs.”
If the site doesn’t do something to control this- I will boycott the site and encourage everyone else with decency and humanity to do the same.
Excited for Santi-
Hope they can pull in Félix and find a DM destroyer as well.
Forza Milan
👍👍👍
(1) What a huge upgrade. Of course there is always a chance it doesn’t work out, but this is a discount at 35M considering the bare bones striker market. 6 feet. Plays with his feet and in the air. 45 goals in 75 games. Sure, not a top tier league but he acores a lot in UCL. We got lucky tho because this is a boyhood dream to play for Milan and he pushed. We should reward him with a lot of support and patience.
(2) Walker is old but still a huge upgrade, so that means we checked our two biggest needs at the end of the day.
(3) Real shame we didn’t get RE or NO sold, that 40M could go straight to paying over asking for Ricci just to get it done and then this market would actually get an “A” from me. Especially with keeping Camarda, a loan to a bottom feeder isn’t going to help him.
Sure, but still smells like Higuain and Bonuci.
That’s interesting. Why does purchase of a 23 year old entering his prime coming from an unproven league remind you of taking a 31 year old declining superstar on loan? Because we are trying to plug holes?
I think lucca is better. You need more lucca than gimenez. Lucca is proven in serie a, in winter transfer, it is better get someone who have experience in serie a.
But this cardinale milan hate italian. So they choose gimenez.
I just think Santiago purchase is the positive one and would be the good player signing.
Ac Milan will rise up, focus on game by game to climb the league standings.
So unfortunate to miss his first game against Inter.
FORZA MILAN
Please Jimenez, do not use number 7 or 9, its cursed..!!
So positive about this Mercator, it’s been a n upgrade, just one more in the attacking midfield area would have completed it for me.
Positive about Jimenez, very positive.
good info. guy with passion.
I’ll full support the coach, I don’t trust the owner and all director or advisor. This guy arrived still I don’t trust him. Well at least next UCL match he will be on our side.
I’ll support the coach with any player in his team.
