Cruz Azul retains a 30 percent rights stake on the Santiago Giménez transfer in the event of a future sale.
Giménez is delivering standout performances and drawing attention from European clubs, with Feyenoord of the Netherlands noted as a current admirer due to his hot streak. In Mexico, Cruz Azul is watching closely, hopeful that any summer market move could bring a substantial return.
The club previously held a 30 percent share in Giménez’s first move to Europe, a deal that took him from Cruz Azul to the Eredivisie in the summer of 2022. At the time, the transfer price was four million euros, with a 50 percent sale option attached. Earlier this year, Feyenoord exercised a new tranche of rights, securing an additional 20 percent, though the overall stake could not exceed 40 percent. This arrangement reflects the club’s long-term partnership with Giménez and the league’s transfer dynamics. [Goal]
Current market rumors place Giménez’s value around nineteen million euros. If Cruz Azul were to realize a sale under these conditions, the club would stand to receive 5.7 million euros. Potential suitors mentioned in market chatter include Atlético de Madrid, AC Milan, Lazio, and Sevilla, illustrating the breadth of European interest in the Mexican striker. [Goal]
