As if it were the relentless judges of the Holy Inquisition, both AC Milan owner Gerry Cardinale and Portuguese technical director Rúben Amorim have dictated a severe sentence on the future of Santiago Giménez.
The panorama for the Mexican forward is critical: in case he does not accept the conditions to dress up with the Porto beach, he risks spending the next half year living an authentic calvary in the tribunes of San Siro.

However, not everything is lost in this game. A real rescue table appeared on the radar of the tricolor attacker with a presumed last-minute interest from PSV Eindhoven. The movement would turn the situation 180 degrees, representing an idyllic fate for a Santi Giménez who would see with better eyes return to a league that already dominates perfection.
The oxygen is exhausted. With the sand clock playing against him on the eve of the closing of records in the Italian Serie A, the Mexican team's gunman has a definitive deadline to resolve his future.
Otherwise, he would suffer a devastating blow in his career: being completely wiped out of all professional football activity, a heavy last of shaking for a goalkeeper who desperately seeks his sporting revenge.
Santiago Giménez, along with men like Fikayo Tomori and Youssouf Fofana, simply do not enter the tactical design of the project commanded by Amorim.
The posture from the throne of the directive is inamovible: although these footballers continue to pay their salaries from the club's salary, Cardinale's order is that they will not see a single minute of game under any circumstances if they decide to rebel and not define their immediate departure.
Under this hostile scenario, Cruz Azul canary has until the last hours of the market to arm the suitcases. The punishment in case of staying in force in Italy would be absolute dismemberment: to conform to training separately, with zero chances of treading the pitch, waiting for the transfer window to reopen its doors until the distant month of January.

This radical stance was backed by the Portuguese strategist himself in a press conference before the league duel against the Venezia, where he practically opened the door of departure to the Aztec striker and his companions.
“You know that some players won’t be part of the team anyway; it’s not because I don’t like them technically, they’re great players, but it’s impossible to train with 27 players. We are professionals; so, if their departure happens, we will provide them with all the facilities they need to perform their functions to the maximum of their capabilities,” Amorim emphasized coldly, sentencing the fate of the tricolor ariete.
The great obstacle to uncovering the seamen’s knot is still in the San Siro offices. The “Bebote” takes days with the thumb up and giving the definitive “yes” to the Porto Blue Dragons. However, the stretch and economic relaxation between the clubs keeps the operation frozen.
The directive of the Milan rejected an initial offer of 15 million euros with a purchase option, demanding at least 5 million more in variables and strict conditions to force a compulsory purchase clause, terms that in Portugal do not end digesting.

Negotiations are still burning alive and, although the Porto is holding the hand, Milan’s urgency to get rid of their discards could provoke an authentic last-minute timepiece if a third appears in discord. The coin is in the air and Santiago Giménez ends his days to escape the hell of inactivity in Milan.
