Moretto: Milan must make Jimenez decision as several enquiries arrive | OneFootball

Alex Jimenez is a man in demand with enquiries coming from clubs in Italy and abroad. Now, AC Milan must decide how best to manage his immediate future.

Jimenez caught the eye two days ago as he was was among the best – if not the best, as La Gazzetta dello Sport said – on the pitch for Milan in their draw with Genoa. He combined well with Rafael Leao, went into every challenge with tenacity, got forward with his pace and made smart movements.

According to Matteo Moretto of Relevo, in the last two weeks Monza have made a ‘concrete move’ to try and get Jimenez on a six-month loan from their Lombardy neighbours. That is in addition to Valencia asking for him too, as was reported late last month.

Contacts between the parties ‘are constant and well underway’ as per the journalist, but the display he put in on Sunday against Genoa ‘should now make the Rossoneri reflect’, who will have to make a definitive decision on his future.

Jiménez has shown that he is a player that is ‘absolutely ready for the first team’ and Fonseca is evaluating whether to field him as a starter against Hellas Verona on Friday too, potentially meaning Theo is benched again.
