Santiago Giménez loses shirt number at Milan, nears FC Porto | OneFootball

Santiago Giménez was not assigned any squad number by Milan for the 2026/27 season, in a sign that the Mexican forward may be getting increasingly closer to leaving the Italian club.

The player, who recently returned from an ankle injury, was left out of the list of 29 footballers submitted by Milan to the Italian league. Like other players who are not part of the plans, Giménez has been training separately, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

The Mexico international thus joins Tomori, Fofana and Nkunku, who have also not been assigned numbers and are out of the plans. Giménez has been linked with FC Porto in this summer transfer window, with the Dragons emerging as one of the possible destinations for the 25-year-old forward.

Christian Giménez, the player’s father, has already confirmed that negotiations exist and praised FC Porto, describing a possible move to the Portuguese club as a «great opportunity» for his son.

The situation could still change before the transfer window closes, but Giménez’s absence from the list is another sign that the forward’s future is likely to lie away from San Siro.
