AC Milan and Real Madrid discuss Alex Jimenez's future

AC Milan is planning to meet with Real Madrid to discuss terms regarding defender Alex Jimenez. The player has not had the season many expected, primarily due to inconsistent performances from teammate Theo Hernandez. Jimenez joined Milan last summer with hopes of being a key player. Zlatan Ibrahimovic even suggested Jimenez would serve as Hernandez's backup. However, he has not played as much as anticipated and has mostly been used in different roles. Real Madrid remains interested in Jimenez due to buy-back clauses in his contract. Fabrizio Romano reported that the two clubs will soon negotiate these terms. Milan is eager to keep Jimenez, while Real Madrid is determined to maintain some control over the situation. The discussions could be complicated.
