One of the players linked to the Rossoneri club is coming off disappointing performances: there are doubts about a possible arrival at Milanello.
Il Milan he wants to buy a great centre forward and the fans are waiting to know who the new number 9 will be. They want to start dreaming again and hope that a real striker arrives or at least a player who knows how to light up San Siro.
For months now there has been talk of Joshua Zirkzeeindicated as the number 1 target and not yet close to a transfer to the Rossoneri. The negotiation seems to be on standby and therefore these days the main topic of discussion is alternatives to the Dutch star of Bologna. There are many names that are being linked to the Devil and it will be interesting to see who will actually arrive at Milanello.
Milan, an alternative to Zirkzee could be risky
In the last few hours, the candidacy of Santiago Gimeneztop scorer of the Feyenoord which he achieved in the two seasons in Rotterdam 49 goals and 11 assists in 86 gamesHis name had also been linked to Napoli and some Premier League clubs.
Not an easy operation, because Feyenoord is asking 50 million euros. An investment that does not hide risks, given that the Mexican striker has exploded in Eredivisie and it is not a given that he will be able to repeat himself in a more important championship. The pressures are very different in Serie A and when you wear a shirt like Milan’s, not everyone is up to it. And the San Siro crowd is patient up to a certain point…
Furthermore, Gimenez is coming off a negative experience in America Cup with the Mexico. Zero goals scored and Tricolor eliminated in the group stage. After the victory against Jamaica on the first day, came the defeat against Venezuela and then there was the draw against Ecuador. You can’t put all the blame on a single player, given that Jaime Lozano’s national team disappointed in general, but the performance of Santi It certainly fell short of expectations.
There are many criticisms that have been leveled at him on social networks by Mexican fans. Some consider him overrated, also because so far he has not exactly shone with the national team: 4 goals in 29 appearancesthe last one on July 17, 2023 against Panama in the Gold Cup. He hasn’t scored in 12 games and this is something he is being held against. Mexico’s game probably doesn’t excite him like Feyenoord’s and this is a problem for him.
