Free-scoring striker Santiago Gimenez is said to be reconsidering the lucrative offer put forth by Nottingham Forest this summer as he reviews his own future at his current club Feyenoord. The Mexican sensation has been a goal-scoring machine for the Dutch side, netting an impressive 48 goals in the last two seasons, with four more added to his tally at the beginning of the current campaign.
While Gimenez’s future at Feyenoord remains uncertain, speculations are rife about a potential move to Nottingham Forest, who are in search of a quality center forward to complement the likes of Chris Wood and Taiwo Awoniyi. Reports from Mexico suggest that Gimenez has engaged in discussions with key figures at Forest, including owner Miltiades Marinakis, and manager Nuno Espirito Santo. It is believed that a recent conversation with Nuno has prompted Gimenez to reassess Forest’s offer and consider a potential switch to the English club.
Although clubs in Germany and Italy have also shown interest in Gimenez, the 23-year-old has maintained his focus on Feyenoord while keeping an open mind about his future prospects. With Forest reportedly tabling a bid of around €35m that matches Feyenoord’s valuation of the player, the striker faces a pivotal decision in the coming weeks.
Speaking candidly about his future earlier this summer, Gimenez reiterated his commitment to Feyenoord while expressing his readiness to explore new opportunities that align with his ambitions. As interest continues to swirl around the promising forward, his decision hinges on a delicate balance between loyalty to his current club and the allure of a potential move to Nottingham Forest. Only time will tell where Gimenez’s next chapter in his footballing journey will lead him, as he navigates the complexities of the transfer market with grace and determination.
