Santiago Gimenez hasn’t found the back of the net in over two months. And for a player like him, who lives for scoring goals, such a drought weighs heavily—especially mentally. However, the Mexican is the Rossoneri’s major investment of the winter, and if a club like Milan decided to spend over 30 million euros on him, there must be a reason.
