CM: Milan remain ‘fearful’ of Jimenez clause despite Real Madrid’s plans | OneFootball

Alex Jimenez’s future is hopefully with AC Milan for the foreseeable future, however, the club are not too confident of this fact.

There have been constant rumblings about Jimenez and his career after this summer in recent months, with Real Madrid’s clause being a big factor on the future. So, with his improved performances of late, there is a greater fear of his exit.

The €9 million clause hangs over the Rossoneri, given they have no say in the proceedings, despite plans to try and negotiate that clause shortly. Nevertheless, there has been no movement yet, so there is still a vulnerability.

It is no surprise then that Milan are ‘fearful’ of Madrid’s approach, as Calciomercato.com state this afternoon, considering the Spanish giants are making plans for the future, which will involve at least one move this summer.

Nevertheless, it seems that the club will settle on Trent Alexander-Arnold and wait for the return of Dani Carvajal, who should be fully fit again for the start of the season. Furthermore, the report states that the ‘choice has been made’, which surely rules out a move.

You would imagine that the Diavolo will still enter negotiations with Real in the summer, but it seems they may be the ones benefiting from those discussions, rather than what was originally, and still is, feared.
