Santiago Giménez is considered the best Mexican footballer currently, thanks to his outstanding performance in European football with Feyenoord, which earned him a transfer to Milan. Giménez's value has increased considerably, making him the most expensive Mexican player, with a valuation of 37 million euros.
According to data from Transfermarkt, Santiago Giménez has experienced a 37,000% increase in his price over the last five years. Initially valued at 100,000 euros in January 2020, his valuation has been on a constant rise. After winning the league with Cruz Azul in the Clausura 2021, he went from 2.5 to 4 million euros when signing for Feyenoord.
His immediate impact in Europe brought his market value to 25 million euros within a year. In December 2023, he reached his peak valuation of 50 million euros thanks to his exceptional performance at Feyenoord. Then, in the first half of 2024, his value dropped to 37 million euros following a decline in his performance and the disappointing showing of the Mexican national team in the Copa América.
Santiago Giménez has excelled in Europe with 65 goals in 105 matches with Feyenoord, making him the team's top scorer during that period. Milan has set its sights on him as a solution to their lack of goals, and it is expected that the Mexican player will make a difference after his debut in the Cup.
