What happened. Santiago Giménez has reportedly agreed personal terms with Porto, but the transfer awaits Milan's approval. Porto have opened direct talks with Milan over a loan with an option to buy.

Porto coach Francesco Farioli personally contacted Giménez to outline his role.
Milan paid around €35m for Giménez in February 2025, contract until 2029.
Lazio coach Gennaro Gattuso wanted Giménez but has fallen behind.

“He wants players fully committed to joining his project, rather than ones who need convincing.”
— Gennaro Gattuso

Milan's board will decide whether to sanction the move, likely seeking to avoid a net loss.
