Amid an apparent climate of distrust at AC Milan regarding his true attacking ability, Santiago Gimenez, according to the latest unofficial reports, has refused to play at AS Roma and that would prevent the exchange with the Ukrainian Artem Dovbyk.

The decision of the Mexican national team forward has generated an apparent atmosphere of pessimism, despite the fact that there are three parties involved who agree to move forward with the negotiation when there are hours left for the closing of negotiations in the different leagues in Europe.

Everything seemed to be going according to plan before the game against Lecce where Milan won 2-0, with an important performance by the Mexican striker, where the club's sporting director, Igli Tare, commented that the final decision would be made at the end of the match, but that did not happen.

The complicated part

For now, the versions assure that Santiago Gimenez has shown a total refusal to wear the Giallorossa shirt, as indicated by media such as La Gazzetta dello Sport or Il Tempo and that undoubtedly They will not allow the exchange with the Ukrainian striker, who seems to be one of the preferences of coach Massimiliano Allegri.

“The morning brought with it growing pessimism about the Dovbyk-Gimenez exchange. Santi is not convinced by Roma, and both clubs do not have a solid agreement. The work is still underway, but the chances of Gimenez and Dovbyk swapping shirts are increasingly smaller,” the Italian newspaper assured.

Milan, however, will insist in these last hours to convince Gimenez, but the Mexican striker believes he can excel in this squad, which he joined at the beginning of this year, and does not want to leave through the back door, even if he does not have the confidence of the board and the current coaching staff.

For that reason, the newspaper Gazzeta published what could be the panorama surrounding Gimenez: “Gimenez's words are important,anyway... and it's not that easy to decide after a game like the one against Lecce, where the club talks about signing you, the ball doesn't go in and, when it does, VAR cancels your celebration."

Milan wants Dovbyk at all costs

Other related news about this case, such as that of the Italian journalist Gianluca di Marzio, assured that there is a possibility that the Ukrainian Dovbyk will join the Rossoneri without the Mexican Gimenez leaving the team, since coach Massimiliano Allegri wants a striker who goes into the clash and bothers defenders at all times at all costs.
