Santiago Gimenez’s future could soon take a decisive turn. With the arrival of Gonçalo Ramos, playing time for the Mexican forward—who is coming off a very difficult year and a half with the Rossoneri—has been drastically reduced, and according to rumors, the Rossoneri are waiting for the right offer to sell him.

The former Feyenoord player would like to prove himself with the Rossoneri, but he isn’t part of Ruben Amorim’s plans; the coach doesn’t consider him central to the project and sees not only Ramos but also Francesco Camarda ahead of him in the lineup. According to rumors, Gimenez could end up in Portugal, at Porto.

Reports indicate that the Dragons, coached by Farioli, have been in contact with the player’s agents. Furthermore, Porto is said to have made an initial inquiry to gauge the feasibility of the deal. Farioli is a fan of Gimenez and is said to have personally called the forward to convince him to move to Porto.

At the moment, there are no official negotiations, but the lead is hot, and there could be news soon. Milan is also awaiting news from Lazio, which had expressed interest in “Bebote” in recent days. For now, however, nothing concrete has yet reached the Rossoneri, who are eager to offload the player. Milan values Gimenez at around 25 million euros; in the final days of the transfer window, to free up the striker’s salary, the club might even be willing to let him go on loan with an obligation to buy. Lazio’s interest in Gimenez stems from Gennaro Gattuso, the Biancocelesti’s new head coach, who sees the Mexican center forward as the ideal fit to bolster the team’s offense.
