Everything seems to indicate that the future of Santiago Gimenez For next season he is away from Feyenoord with the Mexican striker awakening the interest of several teams in European football, although there is a possibility that could take him to nothing more and nothing less than Liverpool.
This option has heard little or nothing in recent months in which there has been talk of interest from Premier League clubs like Tottenham or in Serie A like Napoli. However, the possibility of joining the Reds is increasing for the 23-year-old Mexican attacker.
In that movement there is a character who could be key. This is his current coach at Feyenoord, Arne Slot, since the Dutch technical director is one of the candidates to take over the reins of the English team starting next season after the departure of the German Jürgen Klopp.
Liverpool’s approach to the 45-year-old coach was reported by the specialist in the transfer market, Fabrizio Romano, who assures that Arne Slot is one of the four candidates managed by the English team’s board to finish choosing who will be the replacement. from Klopp.
The good relationship between the coach and the Mexican player, who was one of the fundamental pieces in Feyenoord’s conquest of the Eredivisie last season, their first in Europe, suggests that the Dutchman would seek to keep Giménez under his command wherever he is. whatever I go.
That confidence that Arne Slot has in “Bebote” is justified in the contribution that the Mexican player trained at Cruz Azul has given to the team. In his first campaign he scored a total of 23 goals, 15 of them in the Dutch championship. In this campaign he is his club’s top scorer with 21.
Despite this offensive contribution, the Mexican has been the target of criticism in the Feyenoord environment to the point that many people related to the club have asked for his departure taking into account the ups and downs that he has presented in this campaign in which he has had a couple of major droughts.
Currently the Mexican has a streak of six games without being able to score the nets but his decline has not affected the performance of his team, which remains in second place in the table in the Eredivisie following in the wake of PSV Eindhoven who has dominated throughout. the season.
For now we will have to wait and see if Santiago Giménez finally leaves Feyenoord and ends up playing in the Premier League, whether for Liverpool under Arne Slot or if he has to face his current coach playing with Tottenham.
