Santiago Giménez had a difficult season with AC Milan due to his physical problems. Many reports have linked the Mexican outside the club. Gennaro Gattuso would raise his hand to try to acquire Giménez's services.

Gennaro Gattuso will begin a new process in Italian football after being left out of the 2026 World Cup with the national team. In charge of Lazio, Gattuso would seek to clean up his image. For this, the former AC Milan player would want a top center forward.

“Gennaro Gattuso's Lazio is looking for a new center forward as an absolute priority (?) First we will have to understand the budget at the disposal of the biancoceleste team,” reports Gianluca Di Marzio's portal.

In this sense, Santiago Giménez would enter Gennaro Gattuso's plan. Reports from several Italian media have reported that the Mexican's departure from the Rossoneri team would be on the table. Gattuso thinks that “Bebote” could be useful.

“If there was a possibility, Gattuso would want Milan's Mexican striker Santiago Giménez,” the portal adds.

Santiago Giménez was only able to play 18 games in the season, but many of them came off the bench. Giménez only scored one goal and conceded 3 assists in just over 1,000 minutes on the field.

Only in Serie A

If the transaction is completed, Santiago Giménez would have to say goodbye to European competitions, at least for one season. AC Milan finished in places that give places to the UEFA Europa League, Lazio was left empty-handed.

“Le Aquile” finished in ninth position in Serie A. Lazio left a record of 14 wins, 12 draws and 12 losses in the local tournament. Maurizio Sarri could not lead the club to positions in continental competitions. They were 5 points behind the Conference League.
