Farewell to Jiménez, the naturalized player that Martino will take to the World Cup and is not Funes

Gerardo Martino has already finalized his list of players to be called up for Qatar 2022. The Argentinean has already considered another Argentinean striker, naturalized Mexican, as the great reinforcement for the offensive part of the Mexican team. This has been the most complicated part during the last few months due to the evident lack of goals.

According to TUDN, Gerardo Martinno has had his eye on Santiago Giménez in recent weeks. The media claims that the first talks have already begun with the Cruz Azul striker and support him to leave Mexican soccer with the offer he has on the table from Dutch soccer. Thus, his call-up to Qatar would be much more likely.
