Barcelona have been “impressed” by Santiago Gimenez’s evolution in Europe and consider him a player “to be reckoned with”, although they know signing him will be complicated.
Barcelona — AndL Barcelona The evolution of Mexican international Santiago Gimenez is being closely monitored, but the Catalan club are aware that his deal could be complicated by the expected competition for his recruitment and high claims from Feyenoord. .
The team led by Javi Hernandez has signed Brazilian Vitor Roque for 61 million euros (30 fixed and 31 variable) since last July to compete with Robert Lewandowski.
However, the source admits they are still looking for other options to strengthen their forward line as Robert Lewandowski, who was linked with a number of clubs in Saudi Arabia last summer, turns 36 next August.
In this sense, Barcelona admits to being “impressed” by Santiago Giménez’s quick adaptation to European football and considers him a player “to be reckoned with”.
There are voices comparing his scoring instincts to that of Luis Suarez, who scored 195 goals in 283 games for the Barça club and became the third highest goalscorer in Barca’s history.
Sporting reported today that the surveillance of Giménez is not new at Barcelona, and since he landed at Feyenoord last season, the reports have multiplied, and this year’s reports are even more interesting, as the forward competes in the Champions League (he made his debut last week against Lazio, scoring two goals) for the first time in his career. .
Sandy Gimenez is attracting a lot of attention in the European music scene, especially taking into account the crisis of professionals that exist today.
So far this season, Gimenez has scored 15 goals in 13 appearances between the Erdivissee, Champions League and Johan Cruyff Cup.
Real Madrid were also rumored to be interested in him, especially as the Whites lost Karim Benzema, were unable to sign Kylian Mbappe and had to request Joselu Mato’s loan to Espanyol.
Other big clubs in Europe are aggressively looking for a striker, but the low offer makes the product expensive, and with Santiago Giménez’s contract no end in sight, Feyenoord know what they have on their hands and will negotiate their desired fee. .
