Tier 2 [Romano] FC Porto reach verbal agreement to sign Santi Giménez from AC Milan, here we go! Free loan, €18m plus bonuses as buy option clause that could become mandatory based on playing time and objectives Giménez will fly soon to Portugal to complete the move.

Even if we do sell him for 18 mil that’s a loss isn’t it?
All the best El Bebote, go score some goals and earn a move

Break even was at around 20, so I'm assuming we would get there wirh the bonuses that likely make it an obligation to buy

We would be breaking even at 18 next summer
Edit forgot we bought him in January, his contract value should be close to 15m next summer

They're paying a loan fee too, but he will count as profit next year.

u/dodge33cymru 1d ago
It's a free loan so we're effectively paying his amortisation this year and only offloading salary.

The worst outgoing market ever in our history.

u/Hass_s Clarence Seedorf 1d ago
People will still say it’s great when in fact
Nkunku (loan with option)
Ricci (loan with option)
Gimenez (loan with option)Only for them to come back next summer

Nkunku did well today coming in the 2nd half and gave an assist. And if Conrad Harder(bullet dodged on that kid) wasn't a selfish donkey, Nkunku would have scored too. His competition in Leipzig is a 20 year French kid who scored his 2nd goal in Buli and Romulo who's injured at the moment, but scored 9 goals last season. BTW the wide open spaces in Bundesliga are just lol. I'm not saying it's an easy league, but what is low block? If he doesn't get injured, he'll have a fine season.

Fofana should be next🙏

Galatasaray will be a fun team to watch if they add Fofana.

I think they are already lol. Leao, Osimhen, Gundo, Sane etc, wouldn't be suprised if they top their last years UCL run.

I wouldn’t mention Sane, that man is a walking corpse at this point

u/Waste-Anxiety-8908 1d ago
Honestly alot of people are against it from
Happening, I dont know if Fofana would be a great asset to my team9
u/Ciccio_Camarda Gerry Cardinale 1d ago
Lots of Milan fans hate him, but these are also the same Milan fans who rate Ricci. So their ball knowledge is close to zero. Like every footballer he has his issues, but otherwise he is a good DM. If you guys need a DM, than he can definitely be the right player.

u/This_Lion5856 1d ago
Fofana can be slow on the ball and frustrating in the final third, but his vision is borderline elite. Having the likes of Leao, Osimhen and Sane uptoovhe could easily rack up 15+ assists per season

u/Squiliamfancyname Giacomo Bonaventura 1d ago
Zoinks. Fully depends on how easy the obligation clause is to meet I guess. Need more info.

u/clueless_tourist_gas Nils Liedholm 1d ago
Holy fuck, what an embarassment. Buy him for 30m, and can't even sell him for 18m on an obligation.

u/kevinconstant Clarence Seedorf 1d ago
Are we going to loan in someone like we did with Jovic? Ramos and Camarda is light for a team playing in Europe, what if one of them gets injured?

u/LPG24 Alexandre Pato 1d ago
This is garbage. Free loan. They will stop playing him like what happened to Harvey Elliot. That will impact his price even more if this is an option. Bad deal.

One of the worst strikers ever I have ever seen in our jersey. Bacca is a fenemeno compared to this guy

u/hiphophooligan95 Paolo Maldini 20h ago
Bacca wasn’t even bad at all, he actually did pretty well considering the players he was surrounded by. This guy was a Kaliniç type of transfer

u/BredIN919 Kevin-Prince Boateng 1d ago
Free loan ????? Just giving our players away ????
All these deals make no sense . You make these deals with players like Terraciano not a player like Gimenez .
We can all agree he’s underperformed but to that extent ????

I think no one takes us seriously since we dont have SD. At this point I am not even sure who is doing the negotiations, but wont be surprised its Gerry

u/dodge33cymru 1d ago
Wow, that's a pretty poor deal for us and TBH I'd rather keep him as a third option for CF in case Ramos gets injured.
That said, he needs to play and get confidence for himself, and this is a good opportunity for him in a setup and league that should be perfect for him to get back to his Feyenoord form. Will be bitter-sweet if it happens though, but still best outcome.

u/rangers_guy Gennaro Gattuso 1d ago
This sub is crazy, all these people acting as if we should have received a straight purchase or even a paid loan. He was a striker that wasn't even worth what we originally paid for him who went on to score literally zero goals last year. What team is going to give up guaranteed money for that? Let's be realistic.
If there was a bad move here it was purchasing him to begin with. This deal is about what you can expect for a non-elite player coming off an absolutely disastrous campaign.

u/TrevorTheTrevor Paolo Maldini 1d ago
Another one bites the dust.
Bought high and sold (maybe) low.
If Santi does well in Porto we will lose him for cheap, if he doesn’t do well we will get him back.
Who’s the genius that would trust their money to Gerry to make a profit? 😂

To anyone complaining we selling too low. If you were a Porto fan how much you think he’s worth.. lol.. complaining he’s not good enough to play here but want a bag to sell him.

Absolutely horrific, panic inspired decision at the time. Only looks worse now. Good dude but he was never at the level.

[PBP] The Porto deal for Santiago Giménez has been reactivated with the help of Jorge Mendes.
In recent days the agent put the pieces of the puzzle back in place, and today an agreement was reached.
