According to Milan News, Santiago has not scored in Serie A for over a year, and Milan is considering letting him leave this summer.
His departure could be a good thing for both sides, especially for him. Santiago clearly sees no future in the high-pressure environment of Milan. In another month, it will be a year since his last goal, scored in the Italian Cup match against Lecce at the San Siro.
He then missed four months due to injury, and his performance remained lackluster upon his return. Last year, Tare almost immediately put him on the purge list during a live television broadcast; at the time, the outside world thought this claim was outrageous in terms of both timing and manner, but in retrospect, it is almost understandable.
Santiago 's performance was indeed terrible, and utterly negative. The World Cup didn't change anything; instead, it led Milan to recall another injured player: Gimenez is currently recovering at Milanello from a serious ankle sprain he suffered during the World Cup in July.
How is the transfer of Santiago to Porto progressing?
In the past few days, Felliri's Porto has re-engaged with Santiago . Milan News Network learned today that Porto and the Mexican player have reached an agreement, but Porto and Milan have not yet finalized their deal, with the key disagreement apparently revolving around the form of the transfer.
Milan will only accept a loan with an option to buy, and then convert it into a mandatory purchase, if conditions are attached. Negotiations are ongoing, and both clubs understand that Gimenez needs a change of scenery this summer; his time at Milan is over, and far from successful.
