Gimenez departed from Rotterdam earlier this evening and landed at Linate around 18:30 local time, leaving the airport in a car about 30 minutes later. Many journalists, and also some fans, were present to greet the Mexican striker.
As he rolled down the window, the journalists asked a few questions and the striker assured that he’s ‘happy’ to be at the club. Tomorrow, he will be in the stands for the Derby della Madonnina between Milan and Inter, which could be quite the experience.
“I’m happy. Greetings to the Milan fans, a big hug and many blessings. Let’s give our all,” he said.

It remains to be seen which shirt number Gimenez will opt for. Luka Jovic currently has No.9 but the No.7 has been made available as a result of Alvaro Morata’s departure. More updates on this front will surely arrive very soon.
