The future of Mexican striker Santiago Jiménez at AC Milan remains undecided amid ongoing uncertainty about his status before the opening of the upcoming transfer window, with increasing interest from several European clubs.

According to press reports, the name of English club Sunderland has emerged as a genuine and surprising contender for Jiménez's services, despite strong competition from bigger clubs such as West Ham United, Spanish side Real Betis, and German club Eintracht Frankfurt, who are closely monitoring the player's situation.

Sources indicate that Milan's management has set a price ranging between 30 and 35 million euros to approve Jiménez's departure, as they aim to secure a suitable financial return should they decide to sell the player.

While the player awaits clarity regarding his future, the coming days seem likely to bring decisive developments in his transfer case, especially with growing interest and the possibility of him entering the winter transfer race strongly.
