Santiago Giménez is high on the wish list of Atlético Madrid and Internazionale, the Spanish sports newspaper knows ASH. The 22-year-old striker is having an excellent first season at Feyenoord. Giménez is also reportedly followed by other big clubs.
Giménez scored twenty goals in 41 official matches for Feyenoord. Before he left for Europe, he was also Mexico’s top scorer, where he scored five times on behalf of CD Cruz Azul. With his scoring drive, the striker has now aroused the interest of Atlético and Inter, among others. Giménez’s father will talk to general manager Dennis te Kloese in the short term to discuss the offers for his son.

The first contact would have already been made. Oh Glorioso seems to be very interested in the services of the Mexican international. For the time being, Feyenoord’s asking price, which is said to be 20 to 25 million euros, is a major stumbling block for the Portuguese.
