"Tuttosport (via MilanNews) report this morning that Gimenez has not yet rediscovered the old flame that put him on the radar of Europe's top clubs when he was at Feyenoord. The fact that he has not yet scored a league goal this season and is now out injured does not paint a pretty picture. Allegri's request Milan sit in second place in the league, just two points behind leaders Roma."
"At this stage, Allegri's desire is to add some reinforcements to fill the gaps in the squad. The most obvious one, unfortunately for Gimenez, is the striker position. The Mexican has always given his all, and he deserves credit for that, but he has only found the back of the net once in the Coppa Italia. The Livorno-born coach - who has always praised and defended the Mexican in the media - needs a strong penalty-box scorer with significant physique to support his style. He's always had those throughout his career."
"With this possibility on the horizon, perhaps Gimenez could reconsider his stance on staying at Milan at all costs to try to find his feet again. A home World Cup is approaching, and he cannot risk going into the tournament with things as they are now. His performances after returning from injury will be assessed, but there's no shortage of admirers. West Ham are looking for a striker and had previously made an offer for Gimenez. The Hammers will be freeing themselves of Niclas Fullkrug, who is of interest to the Rossoneri given his profile."
Gimenez has not regained the scoring form that attracted top European clubs at Feyenoord; he has not scored a league goal this season and is currently injured. Milan sit second in the league, two points behind Roma, and aim to progress match by match until the January transfer window. Allegri wants reinforcements to address squad gaps, prioritizing a strong, physical penalty-box striker to suit his tactical needs. Gimenez has shown commitment but has only one Coppa Italia goal. West Ham previously made an offer for Gimenez and remain potential suitors as Fullkrug could become available.
