'Rumors are false' - Santiago Giménez's agent insists Mexico international will not leave AC Milan

Santi Giménez's agent, Rafaela Pimenta, has put an end to speculation, confirming that the Mexican striker will remain at AC Milan and that recent transfer rumors are completely false.

“Giménez is no leaving AC Milan. I can confirm the rumors are false - he’s remaining with the club,” Pimenta stated to Fabrizio Romano. 

Reports suggesting that Giménez was not in Allegri’s plans have been categorically denied. It appears as if Milan will continue to back their No. 9 as a key piece of this season’s project.

Talk of an exit surfaced after Milan reached an agreement to sign Victor Boniface from Bayer Leverkusen, but the deal collapsed when the Nigerian forward failed his medical tests. As a result, Giménez will stay at San Siro to fight for his place under Allegri.

The Mexican striker started in Milan’s Serie A opener, a 2-1 defeat against Cremonese, and will look to feature again this Friday when the Rossoneri take on Lecce.
