Kenneth Perez finds it remarkable that the Feyenoord striker is already expected to join a top European club. The analyst of ESPN sees that the Mexican has developed fantastically in South Rotterdam, but thinks the ‘hype’ that is created is exaggerated.
In the program Football talk from ESPN journalist Willem Vissers from De Volkskrant indicates that he thinks Giménez is a striker who will one day play for a club like Atlético Madrid, or even higher. This upsets Perez, because the analyst from the sports channel thinks it is exaggerated that Giménez is expected to just succeed at a top club: “Why is it so easy to say that he will end up at Atlético Madrid and those kinds of clubs? ? He is not even the first striker for Mexico,” a surprised Perez makes clear. “People just assume that he should earn fifty or sixty million and that he will end up at Atlético Madrid.”

The Dane finds it striking that the ‘second striker of Mexico’ is expected to transfer to a top European club for a huge transfer fee. “We can probably conclude that his actual level is somewhere between the top level, which he has already shown, and his bottom level. Well, then I find it very easy to say that based on that average level he will go to Atlético for sixty million euros.”
Perez is pleased with the Giménez he sees at Feyenoord this season, although the Mexican currently seems a little less in shape: “I see a good striker who has developed fantastically. In any case, he showed it against Lazio in the Champions League. He is now in a bad period and then you can see what his bottom level is,” he concludes.
