Santiago Gimenez is linked to a top European club almost every week. Now Napoli is also said to be seriously interested in Feyenoord’s top scorer. The Serie A club hopes to extend the contract of top striker Victor Osimhen, but in the meantime is also working on Gimenez as an alternative.
The Italian Calciomercato wrote this on Monday. Napoli’s current striker, Osimhen, still has a contract until 2025. But negotiations about an extension are proving difficult. If this does not work out, there is a good chance that the Nigerian will be sold and Napoli will bet on the arrival of Gimenez. The club has had the Feyenoord player in its sights for some time.
The medium also wrote that ‘several conversations’ have already taken place between Napoli and Gimenez’s father, who is also his agent. It is still difficult to say where this will lead, because Feyenoord will undoubtedly be high up in the tree. The English 90min even wrote last week that if the club lets him go during the winter break, it will have to be for an amount of around 100 million euros. On Transfermarkt his market value is currently estimated at ‘only’ 40 million.
West Ham United
The Mirror wrote this weekend about the interest from England. This mainly concerned West Ham United, which could use a striker like Gimenez. However, that interest seems less concrete. In addition, Gimenez – in addition to West Ham and Napoli – is currently also being followed by Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, Newcastle United, Internazionale, AC Milan, Juventus, Lazio, Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid.
