It feels almost inevitable that Real Madrid finally gets their hands on Kylian Mbappe next summer, with his contract at Paris Saint-Germain expiring at the end of the season. However, they could still sign another striker, with Joselu Mato only on loan from Espanyol.
If they do, Santiago Gimenez could be one of the options they look at. The 22-year-old has been in sensational form so far this season for Feyenoord, netting 12 goals in eight Eredivisie appearances.
Legendary Feyenoord midfielder Willem van Hanegem told Manchester Evening News that he believes Gimenez is more than capable of making the step up to a team like Real Madrid.
“He has the qualities to play at the absolute top, in England or Spain. It would be great if he plays for Real Madrid or Manchester United.
“He will only remain at Feyenoord for the time being. Everyone likes him very much; he doesn’t get nervous when he misses an opportunity. He doesn’t get stuck in it, that’s a sign that things are going well in his head. He remains calm, he knows he will be a top scorer.”
Gimenez wouldn’t be cheap, although that is unlikely to deter Real Madrid. The Mexican international certainly fits their transfer policy – now it just remains to be seen if they do make a move next summer.

He’s young, he’s agile as a CF and good with the ball at his feet not just ur average tap in striker. And the best part, he will be part of a strike force of young talented SOUTH AMERICANS with Vini also 22/23 years same as Rodrygo 22/23 years. Then top it all with Bellingham, Valverde, Camavinga, Tchouameni, Ceballos, plus the experience of Kroos ( modric is likely leaving after this season). Madrid will be a force for the future, and if Mbappe joins..!! CRAZY

Why will this Willem recommend Man U to a 22-year old player? You want to destroy his career? Until Man U is transformed, no serious player will sign for them
