The winter transfer market brought a pleasant surprise for Mexican fans, as Santiago Giménez, after a standout performance in the Eredivisie, was transferred to Milan for 35 million euros. Milan presented the striker last Monday, February 3, celebrating his arrival in the elite of European football, and fans praised the young player's work in his short but successful career.
On the other hand, Santiago Giménez, a youth product of Cruz Azul, used social media to say goodbye to Feyenoord, the Dutch club that gave him the opportunity to shine in the Old Continent. In a post on his Instagram account, Santiago shared an emotional video showcasing his best moments with Feyenoord and a message of gratitude and affection towards the fans and the team.
In his farewell words, Giménez expressed: “Dear Feyenoorders, today I say goodbye to you unable to describe in words how grateful I am. From the first day I arrived in Rotterdam, I felt your support and love. You welcomed me and my family with open arms; we lived magical nights, unforgettable nights, and together we won everything. In a footballer's life, there is always a moment to arrive and another to depart. Today we must part ways, but despite that, we will always be together. I want to thank you for everything, and know that Feyenoord will always be in my heart, I love you.”
Feyenoord, for its part, thanked the striker for his contribution to the team, highlighting his 65 goals in 105 matches and 14 assists. Santiago Giménez's departure marked the end of a successful stage at Feyenoord and the beginning of a new adventure in European football with AC Milan.
