Santiago Giménez, 24, is being rumoured with a move away from AC Milan despite only joining the club in January.
The former Cruz Azul striker joined the club from Eredivisie side Feyenoord for roughly €37 million to become one of the most expensive Mexican players in history. Arriving at the infamous San Siro, Giménez hit the ground running, scoring two goals in his opening two games, but soon fell down the pecking order.
His move to the club was approved by manager Paulo Fonseca, who has since been dismissed and replaced by Massimiliano Allegri, who is looking to build his own team ahead of the new season.
Looking to leave his mark in Milan, the six-time Serie A winner has set his sights on signing Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface, raising questions over the future of the Mexican.
According to La Gazetta dello Sport, I Rossoneri are also considering Manchester United forward Rasmus Højlund as another potential option to lead the line this season, which once again sparks concerns about Giménez's status in the team.
Where would Santiago Giménez go?
The transfer market is set to close on September 2nd, meaning that time is not of the essence for Giménez to find a new team. Although we all know that crazy things can happen in the eleventh hour.
With just ten months to go until the FIFA World Cup, El Bebote faces a decisive year to secure his spot in the host nation’s squad, making a strong campaign absolutely vital.
Growing rumours of the club's desire to find a new frontman means that it's time for the former Liga MX champion to find a new home.
Rumours of Giménez's exit fail to include a potential destination, but looking at how the market is playing out right now, here are some of our predictions:
Leverkusen themselves could be in the hunt for a new forward if Boniface signs for Milan, whilst chaos in Newcastle over the future of Alexander Isak may lead them to look in the direction of the 24-year-old.
Other potential destinations for Giménez could even be Arsenal, who will be looking to replace the injured Kai Havertz, as is the case for Serie A champions Napoli, as they search for a replacement for the sidelined Romelu Lukaku.
A busy window for Mexicans
The final weeks of the window look frantic for top Mexican players in Europe, with West Ham midfielder Edson Álvarez moving ever-closer to an exit from the Olympic Stadium. Mexico's captain was heavily tipped for a move to José Mourinho's Fenerbache, but Inter Milan, Borussia Dortmund and FC Porto are all keeping one eye on the situation.
