Porto ready to abandon Gimenez talks as Milan reject €15m bid
Talks between Porto and AC Milan over striker Santiago Gimenez have reached a stalemate. Porto, who are keen to retain the Mexican forward, have reportedly rejected a €15m bid from the Italian club and are prepared to end negotiations if Milan's offer does not improve. Gimenez has been a prolific scorer since joining Porto from Feyenoord, and his future has been a subject of intense transfer speculation. Milan's interest reflects their need to strengthen their attacking options, but the gap between the two clubs' valuations appears significant.

With Porto now signalling they would rather keep the striker than negotiate below their price, the ball is firmly in Milan's court. If this deal collapses, it complicates Milan's forward planning and keeps a 20+ goal-a-season striker in Portugal, where he remains central to Porto's title challenge.
