AC Milan agree personal terms with key transfer target
Santiago Gimenez was signed by AC Milan, almost a year ago, as they looked to solve their striker problems. Milan has had a gap in the position, ever since Olivier Giroud left the club two years ago. AC Milan tried tried to use, Alvaro Morata, Tammy Abraham and Luka Jovic but all three have failed.
Gimenez will likely go down the same as another AC Milan failure, as his time in Milan won’t likely last much longer.

The deal originally looked like it would be a dry loan that would last six months. This would leave him at Milan until the end of the season, and West Ham would be able to cut his wages loose. However, the deal is now changing as West Ham are now forcing the deal to include a buy option into the deal.
With a buy option, that includes more negotiating, between the two clubs.

His contract will run for three years at Milan, which will see him stay in Milan until he is 35-years-old.
