English club Sunderland has expressed readiness to invest approximately 30 million euros to sign striker Santiago Jiménez, a move that underscores the club's seriousness in strengthening its attacking line in the upcoming period. The offer made by Sunderland is one of the largest in the history of the English club.

For its part, AC Milan has opened the door for Jiménez's departure, as the management considered the value of the offer presented to meet their financial expectations, especially given their desire to restructure the team before the start of the crucial phase of the season.

Meanwhile, Jiménez is conducting a thorough evaluation of his future, carefully considering all available options before making his final decision, whether to move to the English league or to stay with Milan until the end of the season.

Sunderland's management confirmed their willingness to wait in order to finalize the deal, but at the same time emphasized that the waiting period would not be open-ended, as the club aims to complete the new striker's signing before the current transfer window closes.
