Milan considers retaining Santiago Gimenez for next season

Summary

AC Milan may retain striker Santiago Gimenez beyond this summer despite a disappointing season. The 25-year-old, who was signed from Feyenoord in February 2025, has struggled with injuries, making just 16 Serie A appearances without scoring any goals. Under new manager Ruben Amorim, there are indications that Milan aims to revive Gimenez's form, even if a new center-forward is also expected to join the squad. His limited appearances for Mexico in the World Cup further highlight his recent difficulties, but the new tactical approach may offer him a fresh start in Serie A.
