Moretto: Roma join Como in race for Milan youngster Jimenez – the latest

Alex Jimenez is attracting interest from multiple Serie A clubs, according to a report, and AC Milan must make a decision on the youngster soon.

Jimenez didn’t play that much for Milan during pre-season, mainly due to some minor injury struggles, but he got 45 minutes in the defeat to Cremonese. It wasn’t an overly impressive performance, truth be told, and it’s unclear how Max Allegri views him.

What is clear, however, is that several clubs are monitoring Jimenez’s situation in these final days of the transfer window. Como are believed to be the frontrunners, at least based on reports in recent days, but that could be about the change.

Roma join the race

According to Matteo Moretto in his latest YouTube video, Como aren’t the only ones interested in Jimenez as Roma have opened talks with Milan. The former are looking to secure the Spaniard in a loan deal, but perhaps the Giallorossi can offer a permanent transfer.

For now, the details are vague so we will have to wait for further indications in the next few days. Milan don’t exactly have loads of depth on the flanks, though, so letting go of the versatile Jimenez could definitely be questioned.
