Santiago Giménez completed his move to AC Milan in arguably the most high-profile transfer involving a Mexico national team player since Hirving Lozano.

Within 15 minutes, he and fellow debutant João Félix had combined for a game-killing goal. Giménez found Félix with an excellent through ball, and the Portuguese chipped Roma goalkeeper Mile Svilar to give the Rossoneri a 3-1 lead that would end up as the final score.

Now, the official website has confirmed the signing: ‘AC Milan is delighted to announce the permanent signing of Santiago Tomás Gimenez from Feyenoord Rotterdam. The Mexican striker has signed a contract that lasts until 30 June 2029.

AC Milan have announced the signing of Mexico forward Santiago Giménez from Feyenoord. Giménez was linked with a move to Premier League side Nottingham Forest last summer but will now link up with Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leão at San Siro. The 29-year-old won the Eredivisie title in 2022-23.

The Mexican striker is set to make his Champions League debut with AC Milan in a highly anticipated clash against his former club, Feyenoord.
