Real Madrid Eyes Striker Reinforcements: Santiago Gimenez Expresses Interest in Move

Real Madrid’s need for another striker has become evident, especially with the absence of a direct replacement for Karim Benzema in the summer transfer window. However, the loan signing of Joselu has proven to be astute, with the Spanish forward making a positive impact whenever given the opportunity, showcasing his ability to influence games in the final third.

Some are even calling for Joselu to become a regular starter, potentially displacing Rodrygo, the Brazilian winger who has struggled to find his top form since moving into a more central role within the 4-4-2 formation.

Currently, Joselu stands as the sole viable option for Real Madrid at center-forward, emphasizing the club’s need for additional striking options.

One player who has recently been linked with a move to Real Madrid is Santiago Gimenez of Feyenoord. The striker has been in sensational form for the Dutch champions, sparking considerable interest. It appears that Gimenez is very open to the idea of a future move to the Spanish capital.

In a statement tweeted by Fabrizio Romano, Gimenez expressed his enthusiasm, stating to Elisa Lasso, “I’d be delighted to play for Real Madrid. Of course. It’s a super big club…”

Gimenez has been outstanding for Feyenoord this season, boasting an impressive record of 10 goals and 2 assists in just 8 appearances in the ongoing campaign, according to stats from Transfermarkt. At only 22 years of age, he is also a full international for the Mexico national team, further solidifying his potential as a rising star in the world of football.

While it remains uncertain whether Real Madrid will pursue Gimenez in the future, it is believed that a transfer fee of around €50 million would be necessary for Feyenoord to entertain the idea of parting ways with their prized talent.
