It seems Orlando City are really serious about their pursuit of Santiago Gimenez and the Mexican striker could well stay in North America.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With the World Cup, interest in football from North America is expected to rise significantly. So, that could see more investment come for stars\u2019 arrivals from the MLS. Now, Christian Pulisic has already been targeted, understandably.<\/p>\n
However, Santiago Gimenez is also being looked at by MLS club Orlando City<\/a>, as was reported yesterday by Daniele Longo.<\/p>\n Whether he would be considered a star is something. However, in North America, his profile could be more appealing than it would be to other European clubs.<\/p>\n Gimenez offer could be readied<\/p>\n Now, it is being suggested that the MLS side could well compete with the money required to keep him in the States permanently after the World Cup. Indeed, Calciomercato.com<\/a> reports that an offer of $30 million (approximately \u20ac26m) would be made.<\/p>\n Considering this is almost what Milan paid for him almost 18 months ago, if that offer were to be made official, it could well be considered.<\/p>\n It is not just the club-to-club offer which could be matched, though. Indeed, a contract worth \u20ac4m per season would also be offered to the Mexican striker and it could be a chance for him to restart.<\/p>\n
