AC Milan is ambitious in the transfer market, ready to secure a major attacking signing. Santiago Gimenez is the primary target for the Rossoneri, who have already submitted an initial offer to Feyenoord.
Negotiations between the club at Casa Milan and the Dutch side will require additional stages, with counteroffers and deeper reflections coming from Rotterdam. Geoffrey Moncada and Giorgio Furlani are working tirelessly and will consider a new bid, relying on the diplomatic efforts of agent Rafaela Pimenta, who remains in the Netherlands to keep the negotiation under control.
A true Plan B does not exist because Gimenez, given his (affordable) costs, potential, technical qualities, and goal-scoring contributions, perfectly matches the profile outlined by the management and endorsed by coach Sergio Conceicao. However, a change in strategy, already agreed upon, would involve shifting focus to strengthening the wide areas instead.
Conceicao is a fan of Joao Felix
The initial idea came from Jorge Mendes, but now even Sergio Conceicao supports Joao Felix's candidacy. The Rossoneri coach would be delighted to work with one of the most talented players in Portuguese football. Currently, Joao Felix is finding playing time at Chelsea primarily in the Conference League, where he has been a standout with 4 goals in 5 appearances. The situation is very different in the Premier League, where Felix is a backup option in an attack packed with top-tier players like Madueke, Jackson, Pedro Neto, Cole Palmer, Jadon Sancho, and others.
Milan have two obstacles to overcome
The Rossoneri club in no rush. In the chess match with Feyenoord for Santiago Gimenez, they are confident of having room to make a decisive move. They remain informed through Mendes regarding Joao Felix, an option to keep in mind despite two major hurdles. The first is Chelsea, which has exhausted its quota for loan transfers outside England. The second is the high cost of an operation that doesn’t fully convince the Rossoneri management.
Will they succeed?
For now, Santiago Gimenez remains the top priority, with Joao Felix further away, as told by Calciomercato.com.
