While in the Netherlands criticism of Santiago Giménez continues to rain From Italy, strong rumors once again emerged about Napoli’s interest in acquiring the services of the Mexican forward, whom they had been monitoring again.

While it is true that “Bebote” has scored goals in his last two games with the Rotterdam team, it is also true that the Mexican player came from a significant drought at the start of 2024, adding up to eight games in a row without being able to shake the networks between all tournaments.
Regarding the interest on the part of Napoli, This would not be the first time that there has been talk of the possibility of Santiago Giménez becoming a player for the Italian teamtaking into account an eventual departure from the team of the Nigerian forward Victor Osinhem, who would look for a new team for the next season.
But Napoli has not only been talked about as a possible destination for Santiago Giménez, who had recently indicated in an interview that he would like to play in Spain at some point in his career since he considers that it is the league to which he could best adapt.
And it is precisely from LaLiga where a couple of teams have emerged that could get into the fight for the Mexican, current second best scorer of the season in the Eredivisie thanks to his 21 goals, one less than the leaders of that department in the Dutch championship, Luuk de Jong (PSV) and Vangelis Pavlidis (AZ Alkmaar). It would be Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid.
Additionally, there has also been talk about possible interest from a big Premier League team. It would be Tottenham, although there has still been no knowledge of an approach from the Spurs towards the 22-year-old Mexican forward’s entourage.
Regardless of which team it is, it is expected that the amount that any team will have to pay for Santiago Giménez would be around $50 million dollars, according to the player’s valuation according to the transfermarkt.com portal.
At the moment Santiago Giménez remains focused on his current situation with Feyenoorda team with which he has a contract valid until 2027.
