Overview
- Italian and Mexican outlets report that newly installed Lazio coach Gennaro Gattuso has put Santiago Giménez at the top of his transfer wish list.
- AC Milan is said to be willing to listen to offers as it reorganizes its squad and finances, though Giménez remains under contract through June 2029.
- Giménez's first season at Milan was limited by a significant injury and a prolonged scoring drought that reduced his standing with fans and the club.
- As of the latest reports, there is no formal bid for Giménez and no advanced talks between Lazio and the player's agent.
- Giménez's performances at the 2026 World Cup could materially raise his market price and therefore determine whether negotiations accelerate or Milan chooses to keep him.
