Mexican footballer Santiago Giménez has shared his opinion about the difficulties players face when emigrating from Liga MX to Europe. He highlighted that, although most footballers wish to make that leap, the obstacles are significant. Giménez pointed out that in many cases the only option to leave is not renewing the contract, which forces clubs to sell players at low prices to avoid losing them without compensation.
Santiago Giménez made these statements amid a context where the export of Mexican footballers to Europe has decreased significantly in recent years. One of the main reasons for this situation is that clubs often set high prices for players, making it difficult for them to leave for the old continent. The footballer expressed his dissatisfaction with the executives of Liga MX, lamenting that the lack of contract renewals is practically the only way for Mexican footballers to try their luck in Europe.
In an interview with Caliente TV, Santiago Giménez urged young talents to take advantage of any opportunities to go abroad if they arise. He emphasized the importance of playing in European competitions to gain experience and face a different pace and intensity. Despite acknowledging that the decision to emigrate is not always in the players' hands, Giménez encouraged young people to seek opportunities outside of Mexico if possible.
At the end of a match, Santiago Giménez hinted at the possibility that this might be his last game with Feyenoord Rotterdam, adding an element of uncertainty about his future.
