The father of the Mexican associated with Benfica: “It is difficult to say no to a team of 30 million.”

Feyenoord’s Mexican striker Santiago Jimenez’s father posited that he wanted his son to see a few more seasons at PSV but realized it was hard to escape the financial might of so many teams.

“Looking at what Santiago is doing, it’s hard to say no to a team that comes in with €30m and says they want it. Besides, it’s the business model of Feyenoord and Dutch teams, and I understand that’s the case. Cristian Jimenez, who was also a Mexican international, said, To ESPN: ‘I would like him to stay at Feyenoord, to stay another one or two seasons, to strengthen himself as a footballer.’

It should be noted that Benfica is one of the clubs that was associated with the future of the striker.

“If there is a 22-year-old from outside the EU who has scored 20 goals in 40 games and scored goals in the Europa League in his first season, obviously people are going to speculate and talk. We intend to continue talking with Dennis te Chloeze, who has the continuity to be had. To enjoy it, and if anything, talk about it. The first thing I have to do is sit down with Dennis, and find out plans for the future. Santiago has a contract. What I know they don’t want is 40 or 50 percent of the team leaving, which is a temptation Looking at the campaign they are running. Today we are calm. He is happy in Feyenoord and at the moment there is nothing concrete. At this moment, if someone approaches, bring something and we will see soon. We are happy in Feyenoord, “he added.

Santi Jimenez trained at Cruz Azul, and moved to Feyenoord this season: he scored 20 goals and 2 assists in 41 matches.
