Olympique de Marseille, looking for offensive reinforcements to compensate for the probable departure of Elye Wahi to Eintracht Frankfurt, sees its plans compromised. Marseille's priority, Santiago Gimenez, is arousing desire and AC Milan now seems in a strong position to snatch the Mexican striker from Feyenoord.
OM in difficulty on the Gimenez file
At 23, Santiago Gimenez is shining brightly with Feyenoord, both in the Eredivisie and the Champions League. His performances, notably a remarkable match against Bayern Munich, confirmed his status as a prolific scorer. OM had made the player a priority to strengthen their attack, but the Marseille club could well see this objective move away.
AC Milan accelerates negotiations
According to information relayed by Foot MarketAC Milan has decided to accelerate the file. The Lombard club has reportedly started advanced discussions with Feyenoord, ready to make a substantial offer. The Dutch media are talking about a transfer estimated between 35 and 40 million euros, a sum which could put OM out of the running in this battle.
-A hard blow for OM
This turnaround could represent a real blow for Marseille, which is actively seeking to strengthen its squad after a mixed start to the season. If AC Milan completes this operation, OM will have to quickly turn to other avenues to compensate for the imminent departure of Wahi. With Gimenez, AC Milan could offer themselves a major asset for the rest of the season.
