Milan’s Santiago Gimenez: Porto attempt to bring striker back to club | OneFootball

Serie A side Milan are considering striker Santiago Gimenez’s future and the idea of a return to Porto is gaining traction for the Mexican.

Get Italian Football News have looked at Lazio’s interest in Gimenez and the player was open to the move too. But Daniele Longo points out at possible return to Portugal.

Porto are worried about the fitness of Samu Aghehowa Omorodion and this is making them consider a move for Gimenez. The idea was being considered earlier in the window but attempts are now underway on a more formal basis.

Francesco Farioli’s side have opened the channels for a move, with Jorge Mendes playing an important role in the move. The super-agent has unfinished business with Milan, having helped them sign Goncalo Ramos earlier this summer. Gimenez has been offered a key role at Porto by Farioli, who has spoken to the striker already.

Obligation likely to seal deal

It is also reported that Porto have offered an initial loan with an option to buy. This is unlikely to find favours from Milan, who would be open to an initial loan with an obligation to buy, as the Rossoneri would have guarantees about his permanent exit.
