“AC Milan Eyes Santiago Gimenez Amid Tottenham’s Waning Interest”
According to Tuttosport, as reported by MilanNews, AC Milan may be ready to pursue Santiago Gimenez, a player who has been considered a target for Tottenham.
Throughout the summer, Spurs have been linked to various number nines, with Gimenez’s name frequently mentioned.
The Mexican international has had two successful seasons with Feyenoord and is expected to leave the Eredivisie for a bigger club.
Just two weeks ago, GiveMeSport reported that the 23-year-old was Tottenham’s top striker target, noting that Spurs face considerable competition from other European clubs for his signature.
However, Alasdair Gold from Football.London later contradicted this, stating that Spurs had distanced themselves from Gimenez and Ivan Toney.
Now, Tuttosport reveals that AC Milan might proceed with a move for Gimenez after their efforts to sign Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna were thwarted.
The report indicates that Milan sees the Feyenoord star as an alternative, with the Dutch club valuing him at €50m (£42.3m). However, it is believed there is room to negotiate this price.
If Tottenham were seriously interested in Gimenez, they likely would have made a move by now. It is apparent that the Mexican is not a priority for Postecoglou.
