AC Milan are preparing to make a second offer for Santiago Gimenez, the talented Mexican striker currently playing for Feyenoord. The Rossoneri’s pursuit of Gimenez has intensified, with the club’s management determined to secure his signature before the transfer window closes.
Calciomercato report that Giorgio Furlani, AC Milan’s CEO, is set to submit an improved bid this evening, contingent on the team’s progression to the Champions League quarter-finals. The new offer is expected to reach between 35 to 40 million euros, structured with a combination of upfront payment and performance-related bonuses, aligning closely with Feyenoord’s valuation of the player.
The next 72 hours are crucial for the negotiation. Furlani’s absence from the team’s Champions League trip to Zagreb is a clear indication of the seriousness of the talks. While the deal remains challenging, it has undoubtedly entered an operational phase.
Gimenez, born in 2001, has made his preference for Milan clear, putting other offers from France, the Premier League, and the Saudi Pro League on hold. The striker’s agent, Raffaella Pimenta, is leveraging a promise made by Feyenoord last summer to consider offers from top European clubs.
The Mexican international has reportedly agreed to personal terms with Milan, eyeing a three-year contract with an option for a fourth year, worth 2.5 million euros per season. His immediate goal is to be available for the Milan derby against Inter on February 2nd.
As negotiations reach a critical stage, all parties involved are aware that a final decision is unlikely before Thursday. Milan’s management is working tirelessly to structure an offer that satisfies Feyenoord’s demands while aligning with their own financial strategy.
