Milan's €20m price tag drives Serie A race as Gattuso eyes Giménez

Milan have set a €20 million price tag for Santiago Giménez as they enter negotiations with Serie A side Lazio, according to today’s update. The Mexican striker, who failed to score in Serie A last season, is being eyed by Lazio manager Gennaro Gattuso as a potential addition to the club’s frontline.

Lazio trainer Gennaro Gattuso has described Giménez as the ideal addition to his forward line. He believes the 25‑year‑old Mexican can provide the missing edge for Lazio.

The next question is whether the Romeinen can meet Milan’s €20 million demand. Milan have made it clear that the price must be satisfied for any deal to proceed.

Volgens La Repubblica, Lazio would love to see the former Feyenoorder at the Stadio Olimpico even after a season without a single Serie A goal. The club’s ambition remains despite the striker’s lack of scoring record.

Gattuso sees potential in the player and hopes the two Italian clubs can reach an agreement. His optimism reflects the Italiaanse desire to strengthen the attack.

Van Lazio’s side, long plagued by financial difficulties, is open to a loan deal for the upcoming season, provided an option to buy is included. The loan would convert to a permanent transfer once Giménez meets a set number of appearances.

According to La Repubblica, the deal must ultimately generate at least twenty million euros for Milan. This figure aligns with the club’s valuation of the striker.

Vandaag, reports noted that Giménez suffered an injury during the World Cup and is expected to be unavailable for roughly a month. His recovery timeline could affect the finalisation of any move.

Milan’s recent €74 million acquisition of Gonçalo Ramos shows the club’s willingness to let Giménez depart. The record fee underscores Milan’s broader transfer strategy.
