After a summer full of errors in the form of transfers, starting with Isco, Monchi has the opportunity to redeem himself as long as Sevilla ends up at least maintaining the category. The sports director, who has not made it clear that he will continue, has already hired Argentine defender Lucas Gattoni, who will join in the summer. And now he has a name for the attack in red. Santiago Giménez, Mexican striker and goalscorer for that Feyenoord who currently governs the Eredivisie.
“Sevilla believes that Santiago is a great striker. However, Sevilla is focusing on the next winter window, not yet on the following summer, So it could be interesting.” Matías Bunge, representative of the Mexican striker and also of his compatriot, already a Sevilla player, Tecatito Corona said it. In that sense, the path is more than paved.
Giménez, 21, arrived at Feyenoord last summer from Cruz Azul in exchange for four million euros. It already costs more, after the 12 goals in the 31 games who has played between the Eredivisie, the Europa League and the Dutch Cup, as well as two assists. It would be the great Nervionense bet whenever there is another great sale up front. Above all, if Youssef En-Nesyri leaves.
The Aztec striker, 1.82 tall, has played nine international matches with the absolute team of Mexico in which he has scored two goals. The fact that Tata Martino, already a former coach of the Aztec team, did not summon him for the World Cup in Qatar generated some controversy in the North American country after a good first few months in the Netherlands.
