Inter Joins European Giants in Pursuit of Feyenoord Striker Santiago Gimenez

The San Siro side are the latest to show interest in the Mexico international, according to CalciomercatoInter want to sign younger attacking options to replace Marko Arnautovic and Alexis Sanchez as both are now 34 years old.

The Nerazzurri are not the only team from Serie A to show interest in the 22-year-old, however. City rivals AC Milan, reigning Italian champions Napoli and Turin giants Juventus are all said to be eager to bring him to the Italian top-flight.

There is even stronger interest in the attacker, though, as Real Madrid and Barcelona are both said to be keeping an eye on him.

The interest in Gimenez is no surprise given his impressive form in Netherlands with Feyenoord. He has scored 13 goals in 10 Eredivisie games this season and fired two past Lazio in his Champions League debut as the Rotterdam side ran out 3-1 winners against the Roman club.

He ended his debut season in the Eredivisie with 15 goals in 32 matches in the top-flight and added another five in nine Europa League appearances.

The 22-time Mexico international will look to add more goals to his record on Saturday when Feyenoord visit RKC Waalwijk.
