De Telegraaf: Gimenez to Milan ‘almost complete’ – final decisive offer awaited | OneFootball

AC Milan appear to be closing in on the signing of Santiago Gimenez, as reports in the Netherlands are suggesting he might have played his last Feyenoord game.

According to De Telegraaf, there is a ‘good chance’ that Gimenez made his final appearance for Feyenoord in Lille on Wednesday evening. If Milan increase the offer that is currently on the table one more time and the transfer fee ends up between €35-40m, they will sell.

The Milan management have come closer in the past 24 hours to the total that Feyenoord chief Dennis te Kloese has in mind, but it is still not quite enough yet. The Rossoneri are co-ordinating a ‘final offer’ and have informed Gimenez and his agent Rafaela Pimenta that the deal will be done.

According to sources close to the player himself, Gimenez indicated the day after the Champions League match in France – which he came off during because of a slight physical discomfort – that he wants to leave for Milan.

The idea for Feyenoord was to keep him until the summer,  Gimenez has received so much other advice from his agent, family, Milan great Zlatan Ibrahimovic and other people in his circle that he no longer seems open to that idea. He finds the risk of saying no to another big move like he did in the summer.

Feyenoord are convinced that enough clubs will come in for him in the summer, like Bayer Leverkusen, AS Monaco and Spanish sides. At the same time, it is no longer economically responsible for them to say ‘no’ to a bid that exceeds €35m after signing him for €6m.

In Italy, Milan have also already given the signals that the transfer will be done. Gimenez is waiting for the final negotiations and so are Feyenoord, and what makes things even crazier is that Milan could also be drawn as Feyenoord’s opponents in the UCL play-off round.
