Mexican footballer Santiago Giménez took a great step in his career by joining AC Milan in Italy, signing a contract until the summer of 2029. His arrival in Serie A generated high expectations among Mexican fans, who felt proud of this signing, despite him coming from Cruz Azul's youth academy.
On the other hand, Burro Van Rankin expressed his preference for Raúl Jiménez over Santiago in Milan. During a radio program on MVS, Van Rankin stated that he would have opted to take the current Fulham forward instead of the academy player from La Máquina. His comment generated controversy among his colleagues, including David Faitelson, who asked him for consistency on the matter.
Criticism towards Van Rankin was swift, with many internet users questioning his statements and defending the signing of Santiago Giménez by Milan, highlighting his performance with Feyenoord. Some comments on social media pointed out the lack of criteria and objectivity in Van Rankin's opinions, reminding of his career in television as a comedian.
