Eager to find a new center forward to compensate for the departure of Elye Wahi, Olympique de Marseille has set its sights on Santiago Giménez. Problem, a Serie A leader has surpassed everyone on the file and is preparing to push OM out of the debates.
Olympique de Marseille is experiencing a decidedly active winter transfer window. Pablo Longoria had clarified a few days before the official opening of the January transfer window, no arrival would take place without a prior departure. The theory began to take shape with the sale of Elye Wahi. Now looking for a new top striker to compensate for the departure of the one who only stayed 6 months at OM, the Marseille management has ticked off several interesting names. Among them, a certain Santiago Giménez. The Feyenoord center forward is having an exceptional season so far, which has allowed him to arouse envy. Unfortunately for the Longoria-Benatia tandem, other European big names are also on the scene.
AC Milan rushes towards Santiago Giménez, OM out
According to information from Fabrizio Romano, AC Milan has reached an agreement in principle with Santiago Giménez for a contract until 2028, plus an optional year. The Mexican striker, author of 15 goals and 3 assists in 18 games this season with Feyenoord Rotterdam, is more than up for the idea of joining the Rossoneri. A state of affairs which therefore keeps Olympique away from Marseille.
-The Lombard club is preparing to send a new official offer to its Dutch counterpart in order to try to get as close as possible to the initial requirements. Feyenoord is sticking to its guns and does not want to go below the requested amount. As a reminder, Transfermarkt estimates its rating at 37 million euros, but the management of the Eredivisie club is perhaps looking to receive a little more given its contractual situation (contract until 2027) and its importance in the effective since the start of the season. From now on, Olympique de Marseille must focus on new avenues, which must correspond to the modern attacker profile sought and desired by Roberto De Zerbi.
