After a second bid from Nottingham Forest was turned down by Mexico striker Santiago Giménez, it has been confirmed that he will be remaining at Feyenoord. Despite weeks of negotiations with Forest, Giménez made the personal decision to reject the Premier League side. This news comes as a blow to Nottingham Forest, who were hoping to secure the talented forward before the summer transfer window closes.
In addition to Nottingham Forest, Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen had also expressed interest in signing Giménez. However, with only three days left in the transfer window, it seems that the player will be staying put at Feyenoord for the time being. This decision has come as a surprise to many, as Giménez’s impressive performances had caught the attention of top European clubs.
Since joining Feyenoord from Liga MX’s Cruz Azul in July 2022, Santiago Giménez has been a key player for the Dutch side. In his first season, he earned a place in the starting XI and went on to score 23 goals in 45 games across all competitions. His contributions were instrumental in helping Feyenoord secure a second-place finish in the Dutch Eredivisie and qualify for the Champions League. This success also earned him a call-up to the Mexican national team, where he has since earned 30 caps.
As Santiago Giménez prepares to stay at Feyenoord for the upcoming season, all eyes will be on him to see if he can replicate his impressive goal-scoring form. With the opportunity to compete in the Champions League, Giménez will have a chance to showcase his talent on the biggest stage in European club football. Despite the interest from clubs like Nottingham Forest and Bayer Leverkusen, Giménez’s decision to remain at Feyenoord speaks volumes about his commitment to the club and his desire to continue developing as a player. Only time will tell what the future holds for this talented young striker.
