Santiago Gimenez Set to Join Porto on Loan Deal
Santiago Gimenez is poised to join Porto, as confirmed by Fabrizio Romano’s latest update. The agreement with AC Milan involves a free loan with an option to buy for €18 million plus bonuses, which could become an obligation to purchase depending on appearance and performance targets.
Negotiations with the player had already been settled some time ago, but after Porto’s sale of Rodrigo Mora to Roma, the club proposed a bid that fell short of what was previously agreed with intermediaries. Milan rejected this offer, reportedly valued at around €15 million, according to Daniele Longo.
Following a brief period of rigidity between the teams, discussions resumed, leading to the conclusion of a deal. This move is necessary as Gimenez, alongside Tomori and Fofana, is not included in Ruben Amorim’s plans for the current season.
