Alex Jimenez has been a topic of interest for a few months now, considering Real Madrid have a buy-back clause. However, AC Milan can be confident.
It has been a difficult campaign for Jimenez, whose influence and position at the club has largely fluctuated. During the summer mercato, he was set to be Theo Hernandez’s deputy, however, this was not the case.
However, in the past five months, his playing time has increased significantly, and he has become a formidable part of the Milan team, playing at wing-back, where he looks much more natural.
Of course, there are still a few issues with his game. He is only young, though, and there are clear signs that he will continue to grow in the next few years, causing the Rossoneri to back him heavily.
Real Madrid remain in the background, much to the despair of the Diavolo. But Jimenez is only thinking of Milan, according to Matteo Moretto, via Milan News.
“Jimenez has done well in a difficult season for Milan. Even the one who will arrive, that is Igli Tare, who, between today and tomorrow, will sign and become the new sporting director of the Devils, considers him an important player.
“Regardless of Real Madrid, who has control over the player with the famous buy-back option and the interest of an important club ready to make a significant offer for him, Jimenez’s priority is to stay at Milan. He is considered an important piece for the future of the Devils.”
