Ruben Amorim's Milan drop Santiago Giménez from first-team squad | OneFootball

Gerry Cardinale, Milan’s owner, under the guidance of Ruben Amorim, has made a firm decision regarding Fikayo Tomori, Youssouf Fofana and Santiago Giménez, a forward who is of interest to FC Porto. According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, published this Thursday, the three players are no longer part of the club’s plans, even if they remain in Italy after the close of the summer transfer window, set for 2 September.

If they are not transferred, Tomori, Fofana and Giménez will begin training separately from the main squad and will be barred from competing. The measure has already been reflected in the official list submitted by Milan for the start of Serie A, in which none of the three was registered.

Giménez has been waiting for several days for a move to Invicta, but negotiations remain stalled due to the lack of an agreement between the clubs. Milan rejected FC Porto’s first offer, which involved a loan with an option to buy for 15 million euros. The rossoneri are demanding at least 5 million euros more and want the purchase to become mandatory under certain conditions. Although talks are ongoing, the Dragons have not yet made any significant progress.

With six days left until the transfer window closes, the Milan board is trying to find a solution for these three cases, which add to the already confirmed departures of Odogu and Nkunku, who are also considered surplus to requirements.
