Milan working to change Alex Jimenez agreement with Real Madrid | OneFootball

Alex Jimenez is increasingly showing what he can do at Milan, so the Rossoneri are reportedly trying to renegotiate the terms of the agreement with Real Madrid.

The 19-year-old talent can play as a right-back or left-back, as well as in a more advanced role where he can join the trident attack.

Officially part of the Milan Futuro youth team in Serie C, he is also a regular with the senior squad, making 12 appearances this season between Serie A, the Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana.

He hit the headlines last night by setting up Rafael Leao’s assist for the Santiago Gimenez winner against Hellas Verona, earning plaudits from the press.

A product of the Real Madrid academy, Jimenez joined Milan on loan in 2023, then was purchased for €5m in the summer of 2024.

The Merengues have an option to buy him back for €9m in 2025 or €12m if the decision is delayed until 2026.

According to Relevo, Milan are trying to negotiate a change to the agreement so that they can avoid losing the player for so little.

They hope to remove the buy-back clause entirely, or at least increase it significantly to protect their investment.
