Real Madrid Confidencial From Madrid to Milan for 40 Millions, a Very Controversial Leak Caused His Exit
Giménez, the Mexican forward who shines at Feyenoord, is about to transfer with Milan for 35-40 million euros
AC Milan is close to transfering Santiago Giménez, the Mexican forward who shines at Feyenoord. According to Sébastien Denis, a journalist from Foot Mercato, the Italian club will pay between 35 and 40 million euros for the player.
However, what draws attention to this operation is not just the price, but his past connection with Real Madrid. A couple of years ago, the white club was closely following the striker as a potential reinforcement for their forward line.
A leak that changed everything
At that time, Santiago Giménez's agent reportedly leaked Real Madrid's interest. This indiscretion was not well received by the white club, which decided to remove the player from their list of potential transfers.
"Madrid doesn't tolerate this type of leak. They prefer to work discreetly, and any rumor of this kind can end negotiations," sources close to the club pointed out.
Since then, Santiago Giménez has continued to stand out at Feyenoord, becoming one of the most promising forwards in Europe. In fact, last night he scored a brace against Bayern Munich.
From Madrid's interest to being a star in Italy
Now, AC Milan wants to take advantage of his great performance to incorporate him into their project. At just 23 years old, Giménez has established himself as a scorer and has caught the attention of several major clubs.
Feyenoord, aware of the interest, is asking for a figure close to 40 million euros for his departure. Milan seems willing to make the financial effort, seeing the Mexican as a strategic signing for their forward line.
A future that could have been White
In the Madridist environment, there are those who regret that Giménez didn't end up wearing the Real Madrid jersey. His profile fit perfectly into the club's plans, especially in the search for a young forward with potential.
However, that leak was enough to break any possibility. Now, Santiago Giménez is ready to take a new step in his career and become a star in Serie A.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid continues to explore other options in the market, faithful to its policy of maximum discretion in negotiations.
