Loan battle looms for former Feyenoord striker Santiago Giménez

On a sun‑drenched Milan training ground, the future of former Feyenoord striker Santiago Giménez hangs in the balance as the club prepares for a possible summer move. Italian media report that AC Milan have already fielded several offers for the Mexican forward.

According to the SN reliability meter, journalist Alfredo Pedullà identifies Italian SS Lazio and Portuguese FC Porto as the two clubs interested. Both sides are said to prefer a season‑long loan, although AC Milan’s consent remains uncertain.

Giménez’s stint at Milan has been marked by a difficult eighteen‑month spell. In 37 appearances he has managed seven goals and six assists, and has also endured a prolonged spell out with hamstring problems.

The Mexican international arrived in January 2025 for a fee exceeding thirty million euros, fulfilling a childhood dream of joining the Rossoneri. His limited output has left Milan searching for alternatives.

The summer signing of Gonçalo Ramos from Paris Saint‑Germain has further limited Giménez’s prospects, making a departure appear almost inevitable. This new goal machine underscores why a move is now realistic.

Lazio’s proposal would see the striker on a one‑year loan without an option to buy, offering him a chance to re‑establish himself in Serie A. The arrangement could give the club a proven attacker at modest cost.

FC Porto also expresses interest; the Portuguese side is coping with the injury to Samu Aghehowa Omorodion, who replaced Luuk de Jong after his exit. Coach Francesco Farioli may be willing to go beyond a simple loan, but the final decision lies in the future.

A move this summer could revive Giménez’s career trajectory and provide Lazio or Porto with a proven, yet affordable, attacking option. The outcome will also influence how Milan manage their striking options for the upcoming season.
