Santiago Giménez

The most recent reports from August/September 2026 detail Santiago Giménez's loan from AC Milan to FC Porto, which includes a purchase option of €18 million plus €2 million in bonuses. In the same period, Milan reportedly rejected a €15 million offer from Porto and was asking for between €22 million and €25 million. In June/July 2026, Lazio was linked with a deal potentially worth €19-€21 million, with Milan's asking price cited as at least €20 million. An MLS club was reportedly willing to pay up to €28 million in June 2026. Earlier, in November 2025, Sunderland was linked with a mandatory €30 million purchase clause. The player's transfer from Feyenoord to AC Milan in February 2025 was completed for a reported €32 million.

Our valuation for Santiago Giménez is driven by the recent loan-to-buy agreement between AC Milan and FC Porto in August 2026. This deal includes a purchase option of €18 million plus €2 million in bonuses, which aligns with Milan's need to avoid a significant capital loss on their initial €32 million investment from February 2025. The player's value has decreased after a difficult spell in Serie A, making the Porto valuation the most realistic current market indicator.
