Santiago Gimenez has been one of the most discussed names in the final days of the transfer window. <\/p>\n
The Mexican striker was persistently linked with Roma, but negotiations never came to fruition. <\/p>\n
Fabrizio Romano shed light on the matter on his YouTube channel, retracing the steps of the deal. <\/p>\n
According to Romano, Gimenez initially rejected any option, only to open his heart to Roma once Milan put him on the market. <\/p>\n
This openness, however, didn\u2019t lead to a white smoke: the two clubs failed to reach an agreement on the formula and financial details of the two-way deal, which also included Artem Dovbyk. <\/p>\n
The player never considered the options coming from Turkey and was never a target for Chelsea, who had already decided to focus on Marc Guiu, who had returned from his loan spell at Sunderland. <\/p>\n
Gimenez\u2019s choice was clear: to stay at Milan, the club he only joined last January, with the intention of enjoying some important months and not immediately changing his path. <\/p>\n
A decision that, Romano emphasizes, was not dictated by disrespect towards Roma, but by the conviction of continuing his adventure with the Rossoneri.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Santiago Gimenez has been one of the most discussed names in the final days of the transfer window.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":106277,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-127452","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-soccer","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127452","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=127452"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127452\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/106277"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=127452"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=127452"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=127452"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
