"The signing of Santiago Giménez proves that FC Porto understood the need to strengthen the striker position"

CNN Portugal1 September 2026 at 22:00

FC Porto signed Santiago Giménez to strengthen the striker position, according to Rui Santos's analysis. This signing demonstrates that the club recognized the need to strengthen this specific position in their attack.

Rui Santos considers that FC Porto secured a forward of great quality. However, he raises a question about which version of the player was signed: the one from Feyenoord, which was excellent, or the one from Milan, where the performance was almost non-existent.

This analysis suggests that there is some uncertainty about the Mexican player's current level, dividing his career between a period of great success in the Netherlands and a forgettable stint in Italian football.
