There has been a bit of interest in Alex Jimenez this summer, but there has been no chance of it going past interest so far, thanks to AC Milan.
Managing a player like Jimenez in this Milan team is difficult. Realistically, there is a position there for him; finally, he can fit into a wing-back spot that has probably been waiting for him for a while now. However, he is not the first choice.
On his favoured right side, there are Alexis Saelemaekers and now Zachary Athekame, whilst on the left, Pervis Estupinan is favoured. In fact, the Ecuadorian was taken off after 45 minutes on Saturday, allowing the Spaniard onto the pitch.
New option?
So, finding minutes in a period where development is key is proving to be difficult, and the Rossoneri may have a difficult task on their hands. However, he could progress elsewhere, and there has been interest.
Napoli sought a permanent option this summer, as have a few other clubs, but Matteo Moretto reports that there has been new contact for the wing-back.
Today, he states that Como have been in touch regarding a loan move for the young Spaniard. At the moment, it has just been asked whether anything will come from it remains to be seen.
