On the same day it was reported that Milan, managed by Rúben Amorim, are willing to let Santiago Giménez leave until the end of the season, without significant costs beyond his salary and with the possibility of including a purchase option — a deal structure that interests FC Porto — the name of another club interested in the 25-year-old Mexico international striker emerged in Spain.

According to the same report, Betis want to sign Giménez or Kalimuendo on loan. These two options have gained momentum after the club spent several days assessing alternatives to their main target, FC Cincinnati’s Kévin Denkey. The striker is also wanted by Hull City and is valued at around €20 million, a fee considered high.

Franculino Djú, the Portuguese-Guinean forward from Midtjylland, Moise Kean of Fiorentina, and Mathys Tel of Tottenham are other options being considered by the Spanish club. Even so, they trail behind Giménez, Kalimuendo and even Denkey, who, despite the high price, has still not been completely ruled out.

Santiago Giménez had also been linked with Lazio, but Gennaro Gattuso, coach of the Italian club, has already hinted that the move has been abandoned.
