Santiago Gimenez poised to join FC Porto on loan from AC Milan
Summary

Santiago Gimenez is reportedly set for a loan move to FC Porto from AC Milan, with a €20 million option to buy. The agreement comes as Milan looks to include him in their plans after a disappointing season marred by injuries. Gimenez had only seven goals and six assists across 37 appearances the previous term. With Porto's coach Francesco Farioli interested, negotiations have shifted to focus on the loan option rather than an obligation. Gimenez has already agreed on personal terms with Porto, making the Portuguese club his preferred destination.
