The signing of Santiago Giménez by AC Milan has caused a stir worldwide by joining one of the most iconic clubs in European football. At 23 years old, the Mexican will have the responsibility to meet the expectations surrounding his incorporation into the Italian squad.
According to reports from Italian media after his arrival at San Siro, it was revealed that Santiago Giménez will receive an annual salary of just over 2 million euros, almost double what he earned when playing for Feyenoord. Despite belonging to one of the most prominent clubs globally, his salary is significantly lower than that of other renowned Mexican players.
Javier "Chicharito" Hernández signed a contract with Chivas for 4 million dollars a year, while James Rodríguez signed with León for a salary of five million dollars per season, being one of the highest-paid players in Liga MX. In contrast, Santiago Giménez's salary at Milan would not even place him among the ten highest-paid in Mexican football.
Despite these salary differences, in elite football, players' earnings can significantly increase if they manage to meet certain goals. Santiago Giménez's performance at AC Milan could be crucial for surpassing the salary figures of players like James Rodríguez and Chicharito in the future, becoming a highly valuable asset for any team.
It is important to note that, upon returning to Liga MX in the future, Santiago Giménez could become a star signing and potentially be the highest-paid player in the Mexican championship, attracting interest from several teams willing to invest in his talent.
