Stefano De Grandis, speaking on SkySport24, commented on Milan's current situation and Santiago Gimenez as follows:
"I don't think they can make it to the Champions League, but Milan must be considered for their technical quality and the players they have. They need to go on a winning streak—I’m not saying they have to win nine, but at least seven. Otherwise, they won’t make it."

Regarding Santiago Gimenez, De Grandis said:
"He had a great season with Feyenoord and also started well at Milan with a few goals. Then he fell asleep, but that's because Milan was struggling. I am convinced that he can unlock himself at any moment and that he will be the right center-forward for Milan in this season finale and also for next year."
