AC Milan has made the decision to put Santiago Giménez up for sale, just under two weeks before the end of the transfer market in Europe. This decision is closely tied to his poor performance since arriving at San Siro.

Following the arrival of Massimiliano Allegri, the forward has lost prominence during the preseason, and his departure would be crucial to finance the signing of Victor Boniface, the Bayer Leverkusen striker who has given his approval to join the Rossoneri.

Santiago Giménez and his situation at Milan

Mexican forward Santiago Giménez landed at San Siro during the last winter transfer window for 32 million euros, but in just six months, his performance has not entirely convinced. His stats show 6 goals and 4 assists in 20 matches, figures below expectations for a player of his profile.

With the imminent arrival of Victor Boniface, the club believes Giménez won't get enough playing time and has already authorized his agent, Rafaela Pimenta, to listen to offers. The selling price is estimated at 28 million euros, a sum that would help Milan balance the books and secure new signings.

Allegri doesn't count on Giménez

The return of Massimiliano Allegri to AC Milan has brought a shift in the sporting plan. The coach has made it clear that he is looking for a forward with more mobility for his system, a profile that fits better with Boniface.

"The priority is to strengthen the attack with a player who offers power and imbalance in the opposing area," indicated sources close to the coaching staff. This leaves Santiago Giménez without a defined role, despite currently being the only true number nine following the imminent departure of Noah Okafor to Leeds United.

The target: Victor Boniface

The interest in Victor Boniface is not new. The Nigerian was one of the revelations in the Bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen, scoring 21 goals and providing 10 assists in his first season. Moreover, he was a key player in winning the league title ahead of Bayern Munich.

Although his last season was marked by injuries, he still managed to score 8 goals in 18 matches. His valuation is around 50 million euros, but Milan is confident of reducing the amount due to the player's desire to wear the Rossoneri colors.

The potential sale of Santiago Giménez is part of a very active market for Milan. In addition to Boniface, the club is also closely monitoring Rasmus Højlund, though facing competition from Napoli for the Dane.

Meanwhile, Allegri has strengthened the team with signings like Samuele Ricci, Luka Modric, Ardon Jashari, Pervis Estupiñán, Koni De Winter, and Zachary Athekamy, demonstrating that the board is willing to invest to return the club to the elite of European football.
