Gimenez talks with FC Porto continue, assures Milan striker’s father
AC Milan has excluded striker Santiago Gimenez from their official squad list as negotiations for his transfer to FC Porto continue. Despite a high transfer fee paid in 2025, the club is looking to offload the player following a period of injury struggles.
Why it matters
This highlights the high-stakes financial volatility of European football transfers and the rapid turnover of player rosters in top-tier leagues.
Milan have not even given Santiago Gimenez a squad number for this season, as his father confirms talks with FC Porto are continuing. 'They are in negotiations.'
The striker is not part of their plans for this term, and has probably already played his final game in the Rossoneri jersey.

This was made pretty evident by the fact the club announced its squad list on the Lega Serie A website, leaving some names out entirely.
They are Gimenez, Christopher Nkunku , Youssouf Fofana and Fikayo Tomori .
