Santiago Gimenez has had a lackluster spell at Milan. In addition to injuries, "Bebote" has not been able to display the prolific goalscoring form he showed at Feyenoord in the Netherlands. Fabio Capello believes the pressure of the Italian club has taken its toll on the Mexican striker. The former Cruz Azul striker arrived at Milan in the 2025 winter transfer window. The Mexican forward was unable to showcase his offensive qualities during the understandable "adaptation period." Fabio Capello believes Gimenez hasn't been able to handle the pressure of playing for the Rossoneri. "He's suffering, he's suffering from the pressure. It's often like when you're going to put on the Milan or Real Madrid shirt; you have to have a lot of personality," the Italian manager told TUDN. In his first few days with Milan, Santiago Gimenez only scored 6 goals in 19 matches. It's worth mentioning that the Mexican had scored 16 goals in 19 matches for Feyenoord at the beginning of the season. That Milan team had many collective problems. But in the 2025-2026 season, they seem to have improved in all aspects. The problem is that Santiago Gimenez has missed a large part of the season due to injury. "Bebote" has only been able to play 11 matches this season. In 768 minutes on the field, Santiago Gimenez has only been able to contribute 1 goal and 2 assists. The Mexican underwent ankle surgery and is expected to return to training in mid-April. Promoted by Rafaela Pimienta, Santiago Gimenez has a contract with Milan until June 2029. At 24 years old, "Bebote" maintains a market value of around $24 million. The Mexican has been linked to other clubs such as West Ham United, Galatasaray, and Real Betis, among others. "Milan hasn't had happy moments, but now it's improving; we have to wait and see," Capello stated. The Rossoneri team occupies second place in Serie A. Led by Massimiliano Allegri, Milan has accumulated 13 wins, 7 draws and only 1 loss.AC Milan is 3 points behind the top of the table, currently held by their city rivals, Inter.
