No Champions League trip: the Ad Furlani remains in Milan to devote himself to negotiations. Waiting for the final response of the Dutch club: with the green light, Santiago in San Siro with Inter
The “Klassieker”, that is, the great classic of Dutch football, Ajax-Fayenoord, or the Milan Super Derby? Or one or the other: both on February 2nd are played. The fans have no doubts, for Santiago Gimenez it will instead be a strong choice. Holland for gratitude: here it grew and made itself known throughout Europe, even to the noble one of the Champions League. For everything else Gimenez will vote for San Siro: he has the same desire to be a subscriber in the South. Santiago has expressed his will, translated by Agent Rafaela Pimento to the management of the Feyenoord: after two and a half years in the red and white the Mexican striker aims at a new experience. At Ajax he has already scored five goals in five games, De Klassieker now gives few chills. Many more those who would give the stadium of Milan colored in Rossoneri. The calendar offers a unique possibility: to live the first game as a Milan player right on the occasion of the derby. The chronology of events is defined: tomorrow evening the Champions League match between Milan and Dinamo Zagreb, between Thursday and Friday the definitive response of the Dutch to the Rossoneri offer, Sunday afternoon the derby and on Monday the closure of the market. Milan, as far as it concerns, confirms the lineup. It is no coincidence that the Ad Furlani will not leave for Croatia: too much work on the table and the need to stay close to the headquarters …

The Feyenoord therefore still has 48 hours to reflect: it is better to hold back Gimenez to try the comeback to the Champions League in the championship (someone else believes Santiago useful for the same reason …) and try to play access to the round of 16? With Gimenez the team has another shock force: the last brace at Bayern Munich proves it. Or make cash with thirty million, a consistent figure to look for a substitute that still manages to move the balance of the Dutch championship. A less complex research than that which has been working on Milan for weeks on the hunt for a center forward who knows how to puncture Italian and European defenses. Gimenez has shown his skills in Eredivisie (45 goals in 73 total games) while in the Champions League he has shown that he can be a potentially universal gunner: 6 goals in 8 appearances. From these numbers also the evaluation that Milan makes it. The qualities are all there, but they still have to be tested in one of the main European tournaments. Ibra himself, on the day of Walker’s presentation, confirms the line: “Gimenez? Everyone knows that he is strong. He has great talent and potential”. A future striker, who can represent Milan in the present and in the coming seasons. Of course, just about Walker, a area center forward would serve to collect the cross …

Meanwhile, Santiago plays on the bank: it is he who together with the agent tries to win the strong resistance of the Feyenoord. On the Dutch market it is difficult to find excellent articles on sale and Gimenez is no exception: his club is currently not at the discount. However, the dialogues of the next few days will be able to lead to a synthesis of the positions, working on the bonuses or other constraints to be attached to the contract. Today the agreement is not there and it is not even close. For the player, less efforts will be needed: he would gladly sign a Rossoneri agreement, with which he would earn money and ambitions. Still Zlatan: “We have our goals, but the January market is not easy. We are working and we hope to achieve our goals. We know what we want and the coach: let’s see if something is created and what we can do, too In other departments. Gimenez obviously has the favor of Conceiçao, a technician that the club has involved in a series of market meetings.

Today and tomorrow Milan would like the focus to be concentrated on the game: the last challenge of the Champions League will be decisive for direct access to the round of 16 but not for … Gimenez. And we return to the market: Santiago will arrive (or will not arrive without an agreement between the parties) regardless of the result of Zagreb. The Award that UEFA guarantees to the first sixteen teams of the continent, eleven million, would be useful but not decisive. As the sales are not: Pavlovic and Emerson could finance the incoming blow and yet, for one reason or another, they remained in Milanello without the Gimenez deal fading instantly. AC Milan, with Conceiçao, knows that an attacker serves anyway: there is no area reference and months spent since the beginning of the season are an obvious testimony. Morata struggles to find the door if all the responsibilities of the attack weigh on her shoulders: in pairs it can work. Or Alvaro could devote himself to the offensive direction in a midfielder role, covered with good results in the past few weeks. With Abraham and the young Camarda the department would be full, waiting for Jovic to decide what to do.
