Serie A giants AC Milan and La Liga heavyweights Real Madrid have reportedly agreed to a deal worth €5 million for Alex Jimenez.
According to reputed Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Alex Jimenez will complete a permanent move to AC Milan in the summer transfer window. The Serie A giants have sealed an agreement with Real Madrid over a deal worth €5 million for the 18-year-old defensive sensation.
Who is Alex Jimenez?
Alex Jimenez is a native of Leganes and spent most of his formative years in Talavera and Madrid. The teenage sensation joined Real Madrid in 2012 and has spent over a decade at the Spanish club. But the Spaniard has yet to make his first-team debut for Real Madrid, making half a dozen appearances for the Castilla side.
AC Milan secured Jimenez’s services on a season-long loan deal last summer, and he has turned out for the Primavera side this term. But the 18-year-old has also made five appearances for the first team, thrice in Serie A and twice in Coppa Italia. And a permanent move to San Siro is on the cards for the youngster.
The Spanish full-back has made a lasting impression with his exploits in the 2023/24 season. And AC Milan will complete a permanent move for the Leganes native in the summer transfer window, with the report by Gianluca Di Marzio revealing the details of the upcoming transaction.
Permanent Move on the Cards?
The reputed Italian journalist has claimed that AC Milan will shell out €5 million to complete a permanent move for Alex Jimenez, with Real Madrid ready to part ways with him for good. The decision is understandable, considering has blown hot and cold in the last few seasons.
In addition, Alessandro Florenzi is well into his thirties and will unlikely continue with AC Milan for much longer. So, it behoves the Serie A giants to sign a young right-back who can learn the ropes from Calabria and share game time with the AC Milan captain. But Jimenez might not be the only Real Madrid player to join the Rossoneri this summer.
Recent reports have also linked the Serie A heavyweights with veteran Real Madrid defender Nacho. It will be interesting to see if the Spaniard joins his compatriot at San Siro in the summer transfer window.
