Lazio make clear they want to sign striker tracked by Benfica | OneFootball

Lazio are keeping a close eye on the market and have already added Santiago Giménez to their list of possible reinforcements for the attack next season. The Mexican striker, who had been on Benfica’s radar, is currently at Milan and is taking part in the 2026 World Cup with Mexico.

According to journalist Nicolò Schira, the Rome club have already requested information from the Milan side to understand the conditions of a possible transfer. For now, there is no formal offer, but there is concrete interest in assessing the player’s situation.

The 25-year-old has been closely monitored, although his season in Italy has not been particularly productive. The striker has made 23 appearances, totaling 1,235 minutes, with two goals and two assists in all competitions, numbers that could influence his market value.

In the immediate future,. If he remains at Milan, there is still the possibility that he could end up working under Ruben Amorim, who is set to take charge of the Italian club.

In the 2025/26 season, wearing the Milan shirt, Santiago Giménez — currently valued at €18 million — featured in 18 matches: 16 in Serie A and two in the Coppa Italia.
