Current Status and Future Prospects
Ibrahimović stated, “There are no negotiations now but we’re happy with Alex. We trust him for the future, as I always said.” This indicates that AC Milan is content with Jimenez’s performance and sees him as a valuable asset for the club’s future.
Background on Alex Jimenez
Alex Jimenez, a promising defender, made a permanent move to AC Milan in June 2024. The transfer from Real Madrid was finalized after AC Milan activated a €5 million clause. Prior to his move, Real Madrid was set to earn €15 million from the transfers of both Rafa Marin and Alex Jimenez.
Potential Loan Deal
In December 2024, there were reports of Monza seeking a loan deal for Jimenez, highlighting interest from other clubs in his abilities. However, no further developments have been reported regarding this potential move.
Jimenez’s future at AC Milan remains a topic of interest, especially with the buy-back clauses in place, but for now, he continues to be a part of the Italian club’s plans.
