Milan, Porto and Roma linked by Gimenez and Mora deals Milan, Porto and Roma are connected by a series of transfer dominos: The Portuguese side are hoping to secure the services of Mexico international Gimenez, who is considered surplus to requirements at Milan following the club-record deal for centre-forward Goncalo Ramos earlier this window.
According to Monday’s reports, Gimenez has given his approval to a move to Porto, even on an initial loan.

What happened
Porto are said to have an agreement in place with AC Milan to sign Mexican striker Santiago Gimenez. However, the situation remains complex and depends on Roma's next moves, suggesting a potential transfer chain or domino effect. The specifics of Roma's involvement are not fully detailed, but the deal hinges on those developments before the move can be completed. Gimenez, who joined Milan in early 2025, could be on his way out if conditions are met.
Chance analysis
This is a classic transfer-chain story where a mid-tier European club (Porto) has agreed terms with a Serie A side (Milan) for a striker, but completion depends on a third party (Roma). For prediction systems, this means Gimenez's availability for Milan is uncertain — a potential outgoing weakens their attacking depth unless a replacement is lined up. Porto would gain a proven Serie A striker, boosting their offensive options. The Roma dependency suggests financial or squad-logic constraints, meaning the deal may collapse or pivot based on multiple negotiations.
If completed, Milan lose a forward option while Porto gain a proven striker, with Roma's actions acting as the trigger for the chain.
Treat Gimenez as potentially unavailable for Milan's upcoming matches until the transfer chain resolves; Porto may be strengthened if the deal completes.
