As he remains stuck on zero league goals for the season, doubts about Santiago Gimenez’s AC Milan future continue to swirl.
Gimenez only arrived at Milan in January in a deal worth over €30m from Feyenoord, but he has so far not shown enough to suggest that he can be the long-term striker that the club have been searching a long time for.
According to a report in Tuttosport (via MilanNews) this morning, several Premier League clubs have enquired about Gimenez’s situation, obviously still seeing some promise in the Mexico international despite his struggles. Brentford and Sunderland were recently named by Calciomercato.com.
Two conditions are needed for the former Feyenoord striker to leave, though. Firstly, a permanent deal is required and an offer of at least €25m is needed to avoid a capital loss. Secondly, if a fee is agreed, then the player himself must approve of the destination.
A needed break?
By his own admission, Gimenez has not made the start to 2025-26 that he wanted to. Earlier in the month, he posted on his Instagram profile to update fans on his condition, and he claimed that he has actually been playing with an injury for months now.
There are still some doubts about whether he will return to training this week and therefore be fit for Sunday’s derby against Inter. If he were to play a part in that game though, what a time it would be to break his Serie A duck.
