AC Milan continue to look for opportunities in the transfer market. Many players have been signed and more will come soon. The club is also working on reinforcing the youth sector.
In this regard, the new sporting director of the club, Antonio D'Ottavio, has reportedly played a decisive role in the imminent acquisition of a player from Real Madrid's youth academy, according to Spanish outlet Relevo. The player in question is Álex Jiménez, born in 2005, a right-back for Real Madrid Under 19 team
The arrival of the young Álex Jiménez at Milan is nearing completion: the deal is a loan with a non-obligatory buyout option at the end of the season. This addition, strongly desired by D'Ottavio - who knows the player well - would strengthen the roster of Milan Primavera, managed by Ignazio Abate. The player would also have the opportunity to train with the first team regularly.
According to the source, Real Madrid would let Álex Jiménez go for two reasons: firstly, due to injuries that kept him sidelined in the last part of the previous season, and secondly, due to a lack of rapport with the two youth team coaches Raúl González Blanco and Álvaro Arbeloa.
Therefore, a move to Milan would be an opportunity for him to make a fresh start while allowing Real Madrid to maintain some control over the player.
