Santiago Giménez, a 25-year-old Mexican forward, is on the verge of leaving AC Milan to join FC Porto in this final stretch of the transfer market. The clubs have reached an agreement for a loan with a purchase option of €18 million plus variables, which could become mandatory if certain sporting conditions are met.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the player has already given his approval for the move and now must travel to Portugal to undergo a medical examination and sign the documentation. The total amount of the deal could reach around €20 million including the agreed bonuses.

Santiago Giménez Leaves AC Milan

Negotiations between AC Milan and Porto went through various stages during August. The Portuguese club initially proposed a loan with a purchase option set at €15 million, a structure that didn't entirely convince the Italian entity.

Discussions continued, and the final agreement raised that option to €18 million, along with including variables. The clause can later become an obligation to buy depending on goals related to appearances and minutes played by Giménez during the season.

The forward arrived at Milan from Feyenoord in February 2025. The Italian club paid around €32 million plus bonuses and signed him to a contract until June 30, 2029, but his performance was hampered by physical issues and lack of playing time. Milan had been considering his departure for months.

In his first half season in Serie A, Giménez scored 5 goals in 14 matches. During the 2025/26 season, he played 16 league games without scoring, while adding a goal in the Coppa Italia.

FC Porto's Bet on Giménez to Strengthen Their Attack

FC Porto spent several weeks searching for a forward to enhance their options as they await the full availability of Samu Aghehowa. Giménez ended up becoming one of the priorities for Francesco Farioli after talks with Milan resumed.

For Giménez, this move means leaving Serie A after a season and a half. Before his arrival in Italy, he had scored 65 goals in 105 matches for Feyenoord, the club he joined in 2022 from Cruz Azul.

Milan, on the other hand, reduces one of the pieces that did not occupy a priority place in their sports planning and awaits the agreed conditions to convert the loan into a permanent sale. The initial reference for negotiating his exit was set at around €20 million.

The next step for Santiago Giménez will be to pass medical tests in Portugal and complete the signing with FC Porto. If no setbacks occur, the official announcement will close a deal with a purchase option set at €18 million plus variables and which could eventually become a mandatory transfer based on his participation during the season.
