It's the big return of the good transfer window this month of November! The most entertaining series of articles on 90min is back to help French and foreign clubs. A little reminder of the concept. We offer you an exceptional opportunity to grab for a team in Ligue 1, Ligue 2 or elsewhere during the next transfer window.
Obviously, it concerns an outstanding position or a request from the coach. On the PSG side, we targeted the goalscoring role to bring more depth to the squad. Gonçalo Ramos needs an understudy while Randal Kolo Muani could leave. This is why we are proposing to the Rouge et Bleu the name of Santiago Gimenez.
You missed it and we did too, the good transfer window is making a comeback! First episode before the 2025 winter market with Paris Saint-Germain. Logically, PSG needs more support in attack.
Randal Kolo Muani could leave the Capital and a replacement for Gonçalo Ramos is requested in the Ile-de-France club. One name stands out clearly in our minds given Luis Enrique's requests: Santiago Gimenez.
Santiago Gimenez, 1.83 meters tall, joined Europe and Feyenoord in July 2022, for a transfer of six million euros. He did not need time to adapt to establish himself on the Old Continent. During his first season, the Mexican striker, although born in Buenos Aires (Argentina), scored 15 goals in the Eredivisie, thus contributing to his team's title, a triumph that the Dutch club had not experienced since 2017. Then , he reached 23 goals in the championship.
For this new season, the 23-year-old young talent has started the competition at an even more impressive pace, with two goals already scored in just five league matches. He has just made his debut in the Champions League. Gimenez is currently injured and has not yet been able to fully display his talent on the European scene. However, he should return in the coming days.
His profile is clearly Luis Enrique-compatible. This versatile left-hander has great qualities with the ball, he can easily zone out or decide to rush into the opponent's area. His finishing qualities are well established, having scored 26 goals last season and providing eight assists.
In terms of scoring opportunities within his reach and clear situations created, Gimenez is still one of the best in Europe in November 2024. On average, his ratio is 0.80 per game. He is also one of the 10 best Europeans in terms of touches in the opponent's area, proof of his quality in calling the ball. Quite fast and a pretty good dribbler, the Mexican international knows how to combine easily. His defensive withdrawals are examples of their kind. Everything Enrique loves in the end…
Obviously, Santiago Gimenez's performances have not gone unnoticed in Europe. According to our information, the big names were already on his trail last winter. Borussia Dortmund, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Juventus, Inter Milan and even AC Milan went to observe him recently. His profile was also mentioned by Real Madrid.
Under contract until June 2027, it is valued at 40 million euros per Transfer market. With two and a half years left on the lease, its rating drops slightly. Gimenez is one of the most sought after attackers outside the Big Five. Viktor Gyökeres should go to a European big name while Gimenez presents himself as the other, more affordable alternative.
At almost 24 years old, his room for improvement remains enormous. You will need to take out a nice checkbook that will quickly pay off. His salary should not be a problem, he speaks Spanish and would quickly integrate into the Parisian club. The sale of Randal Kolo Muani would finance such an arrival and leave the necessary space for our Mexican international. So convinced?
