Santiago Giménez

Santiago Giménez of AC Milan was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina on 18 April 2001 (age 25).

Santiago Giménez, born 18 April 2001 (age 25), is a Mexico striker with AC Milan. His most productive league season came at Feyenoord in 2023–2024, when he scored 23 goals in 30 appearances, a return that marked him out well beyond the Dutch market.

At Milan in 2025–2026, the output has been more modest. He has made 16 Serie A appearances without a league goal, while adding one goal in two Coppa Italia appearances. Across all competitions for the club, he has played 18 times and scored once, so his place in the first-team picture has not depended on a flood of goals.

Giménez has also remained involved with Mexico, making six Gold Cup appearances this season. His career so far is that of a striker who built his reputation with a heavy scoring year at Feyenoord and is now trying to turn regular involvement at Milan into sharper returns.

His selection profile pointed to a striker who remained involved, rather than peripheral, but the lack of league goals sharply limited his attacking impact.

Giménez's career trajectory moved from Cruz Azul to Feyenoord and then AC Milan, a clear three-club rise through stronger European levels. His Feyenoord spell was the productive centre of the profile, with 15 goals in 2022-23 and 23 in 2023-24 before a seven-goal 2024-25 return ahead of the Milan move. He scored five goals for Milan in 2024-25, but his 2025-26 Serie A season brought appearances without league goals.
