"Santiago really dreamed of joining AC Milan, which had been one of his favourite teams since childhood. For us, it was a void he left in the middle of the season, but it's not easy for the player, and sometimes not even for the club, which doesn't have the time to adapt nor the pace to fully integrate into such a complex environment at the clubs he joins."
"Any club that wants to resolve something in the January transfer market does so by solving the issue directly, immediately taking the burden off the team, and they pay a fair bit more for it."
"It was noticeable that when he played against us in the first match he was still a bit disoriented, while in the second match he played quite well, but we already had the advantage."
Dennis Te Kloese, CEO of Feyenoord, discussed Santiago Gimenez's sale to AC Milan during the 2025 winter transfer window. Gimenez had long dreamed of playing for Milan, but his transition has been challenging. He has not scored a league goal for over a year, indicating difficulties in adapting to the new environment. Te Kloese noted that mid-season transfers can leave a void for clubs and players, complicating integration. As the World Cup approaches, Gimenez aims to conclude the season positively amidst ongoing transfer speculation.
