Santiago Giménez revealed to be Mexico’s most expensive forward

Santiago Giménez is valued as Mexico’s most expensive forward in the current squad. Jaime Lozano has chosen his team of players to take as they face two important games in the CONCACAF Nations League against Honduras.

Unsurprisingly, given his fantastic form in Europe, the name that stands out in Mexican football is Santiago Giménez. The Feyenoord forward could quite possibly become El Tri’s most dangerous player in the coming years and he is currently the most expensive player in the national team by a large distance.

According to the Transfermarkt website, an internet site that estimates the value of footballers taking their form and market fluctuations into account, Giménez is valued at $44 million at the age of 22, a figure well above those of Raúl Jiménez, Henry Martin, Julián Quiiñones or César Huerta. His closest rival is Hirving Lozano, who is priced at $24 million.

What is Santiago Giménez’s record this season?

The 22-year-old, born in Buenos Aires, has scored for fun as Feyenoord battle it out at the top of the Dutch Eredivisie, and has a current total of 13 goals in 12 games for his club. His three assists are also marked clearly on his record for the season so far, showing that Giménez has a creative side, further highlighting just why he has even seen his name linked with both Real Madrid and Barcelona over previous months.

The goalscoring form that Giménez has put up for Feyenoord has indeed been carried over to the national team: as Mexico have experienced a resurgence after the poor periods under Tata Martino and Diego Cocca, current coach Jaime Lozano has found a way to get the best out of the player who scored the winning goal in Mexico’s famous Gold Cup final against Panama.
