Santiago Gimenez, forward for the Mexican national team, apparently has his future at AC Milan, after it was revealed that the new coach Massimiliano Allegri agrees that the Mexican striker is exchanged to Roma for the Ukrainian striker Artem Dovbyk.

Allegri believes that to strengthen his project he needs a striker with more experience in Serie A and has chosen Dovbyk who has demonstrated his ability in Serie A with 45 games played and 17 goals scored.

This comes after the Italian journalist Attilio Malena of Retesport, was quoted by the VoceGiallorosa page, to viralize the information that the Rossoneri eleven are interested in an exchange of the Mexican striker for the Ukrainian attacker formerly of Girona and now at Roma, Artem Dovbyk.

The reality is that this information is very brief and the details of whether the operation would be a definitive negotiation or a loan have not been released, after Milan paid more than 30 million euros, without having given him a real opportunity to show himself.

Gimenez played 19 games in six months and scored six goals, in a performance that given the conditions in which he arrived at the Milanese team and the difficult moment they went through in the second half of the Serie A championship, he always had to row against the current under the orders of the Portuguese coach Sergio Conceicao.

The truth is that the forward who currently participates with the Mexican national team in the Gold Cup, arrived at the so-called Il Diavolo in the first days of February of this year, he did not have all the confidence of the strategist as demanded by the sporting director Zlatan Ibrahimovi?, who operated to have him acquired from Feyenoord of the Eredivisie.

The good and the bad in Gimenez's future

At first glance, the exchange doesn't look so bad for Santiago Gimenez, because if it goes through, he could play European competition matches with the Europa League edition with the Wolf's team, although otherwise at Milan, the task would be complicated due to the lack of confidence of coach Allegri.

If he arrives at Roma, he would have talented teammates such as the young Argentine Matias Soule, Lorenzo Pellegrini, although Leandro Paredes would leave and it is not a guarantee that Paulo Dybala will stay.

AC Milan uses the image of Santiago

Given the news of the possible exchange, it is strange that AC Milan published the away kit on its social networks with the image of Santiago Gimenez along with other teammates such as the American Christian Pulisic modeling the sportswear, which suggests that he is a very important asset for the Rossoneri team and that it is only a matter of gaining confidence.
