Milan Forced to Wait to Make Another Offer for Gimenez | OneFootball

Milan were ready to launch their final offensive for Santiago Gimenez, but they are inevitably in a holding pattern for now because the striker got hurt during Wednesday’s Champions League game versus Lille, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.

The Rossoneri will wait for the test results before finalizing their bid. The issue appears to be muscular. They might postpone their attempt to the summer if it’s serious, but there’s optimism it’s not.

Milan are preparing a €30M offer plus 10 percent of a future sale to sign Gimenez this window. It’s uncertain it’ll be enough to alter Feyenoord’s intention of keeping their top players in January.

The Serie A side continues to work on possible sales. Luka Jovic has turned down Monza, which wanted him to replace Milan Djuric, who recently joined Parma. He could be excluded from both the domestic and the Champions League list if he stayed and the team added another forward.

Tottenham have asked for information about Noah Okafor as a fallback plan to shore up their frontline. The Swiss international is available at the right price. Instead, the brass is leaning toward keeping Samuel Chukwueze even though a couple of sides are after him.

Our Take on Milan and Gimenez

It’s an unfortunate turn of events with so few days left in the window, and they might not get clarity until very late. They seem all-in on him for both now and the future, which might deter them from signing somebody else in the same role. However, it’d be detrimental as the paltry production of their frontline is holding them back.
