AC Milan has a clear goal for the summer of 2025: to retain Álex Jiménez at San Siro and ensure his continuity at the club. The Rossoneri board is preparing negotiations with Real Madrid to redefine the terms of his transfer, as the 19-year-old full-back still has a link with the Spanish club through a buy-back clause.
The Spanish defender, who arrived at the Italian team on loan and was permanently acquired in March 2024, has a contract until 2028 with the option to extend it for another year. However, Real Madrid retained the possibility of bringing him back through a staggered buy-back option: €9 million if they bring him back in 2025 and €12 million in 2026. Faced with this scenario, Milan seeks to renegotiate these figures to minimize the risk of losing a player they consider key for the future.
AC Milan wants to keep Álex Jiménez
At the moment, Real Madrid has not shown an immediate intention to bring him back, as their priority for reinforcing the right-back position is Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose contract with Liverpool ends in June. The Spanish club has already made him an offer for five seasons, but the English club has responded with a similar proposal to retain him. If the English international chooses to stay at Anfield, Ancelotti could reactivate the option for Jiménez, although Dani Carvajal will remain part of the team until 2026.
Milan, aware of the situation, aims to reduce the possibility of Real Madrid activating their buy-back clause and ensure that Jiménez continues his development in Serie A without the constant threat of a return to Spain.
