‘To fulfil dreams’ – Feyenoord coach admits Gimenez ‘wants’ Milan move despite wish | OneFootball

AC Milan are persisting in their interest in Santiago Gimenez, and the Feyenoord striker is seemingly edging closer to a move to Italy.

The past week has been mad when it comes to transfers. There have been suggestions throughout January that the side could be ‘revolutionised’, but the extent of incoming and outgoing news has been extreme.

In the past day, two stars have been approached for moves away from Milan, whilst several of the summer signings have also been pursued.

On the incoming front, the Rossoneri have opened themselves to a double signing on the front line, whilst other areas are slightly quieter. Of course, the big story has regarded Gimenez’s move to Serie A, and the Diavolo’s persistence there.

Multiple bids have been submitted and with Alvaro Morata on his way to Turkey, the striker’s arrival is a must, and today, the Feyenoord head coach, Brian Priske, seemingly admitted defeat in his bid to keep the star, as Milan News relays.

“As a coach, I have the task of giving the maximum with the players I have at my disposal. I have an incredibly good working relationship with Dennis te Kloese [the sporting director] and we are on the same wavelength.

“The director does what is best for this club, even when it comes to the possible departure of Gimenez. I would love to keep Santi because he is a very good player. I hope we can keep him, but it’s not just my decision.

“I understand that players have a lot of ambition. It’s part of football when players want to go to big competitions because it’s important to have ambition. The fuel for people in sport is to fulfil dreams, so I definitely understand Gimenez.”
