Santiago Giménez joins FC Porto on loan

Overview

Santiago Giménez has officially joined FC Porto on loan from AC Milan for the 2026/27 season. The agreement includes an option to purchase the player’s sporting and economic rights for a fixed fee of €18 million, plus up to €2 million in performance-based bonuses. This purchase becomes mandatory if Giménez meets specific sporting objectives. AC Milan will retain a 10% clause on any future sale, while Porto assumes responsibility for solidarity mechanisms.

The 25-year-old Mexican striker arrived in Portugal to revitalize his career following a difficult period at Milan. To avoid non-EU player quotas, Giménez is registered with Italian nationality on the Liga Portugal platform due to family ancestry, though he remains a Mexican international.

Giménez made his official debut for FC Porto as a substitute in the 74th or 75th minute during a 2-1 Primeira Liga victory against Moreirense. Replacing André Silva, he recorded two shots on target and several defensive actions. While he did not score, his aggressive style drew positive fan reactions. Coach Francesco Farioli noted that while Giménez is motivated, he must improve his physical conditioning following a difficult summer.

In his subsequent appearance, Giménez made his UEFA Champions League return, entering the match in the 72nd minute against Manchester City. Porto lost the fixture 0-2 at the Estádio do Dragão, with Erling Haaland scoring both goals. Farioli has continued to manage Giménez’s minutes to facilitate his adaptation process following his move from AC Milan.
