AS: No mention of a buy-back as Milan complete €5m signing of Jimenez

AC Milan have completed the signing of Alex Jimenez from Real Madrid, as was announced by the Rossoneri earlier today. A buy-back clause has been expected, but one report seemingly suggests that might not be the case. 

Jimenez joined Milan on a loan with an option to buy last summer and after impressing with the Primavera, as well as the first team, they decided to redeem him. The deal was announced by the Rossoneri earlier today, even if it didn’t exactly come as a surprise.

According to the Spanish outlet AS, Milan have paid around €5m to Real Madrid for the 19-year-old’s services and interestingly enough, there was no mention of a buy-back in the report. It even stated ‘From La Fábrica to Milan with no return ticket’, referring to the full-back.

It will be very interesting to see if this is the case, but the feeling is that the Bernabeu side have included some kind of clause in the transfer. In any case, Jimenez will be an important player for Milan Futuro next season and we will likely see him with the first team as well.

That is, of course, unless a good loan offer arrives that the parties cannot say no to.
