It seems some big names are interested in Jimenez, with the Times recently linking him with Man Utd, while Tuttosport also claimed Juventus were after him and that he’d likely cost around €60million.

“It’s an incredible thing to be on the radar, and on the lips of those teams.

“It’s something good to continue growing, making an effort and taking it as an incentive so that, if possible, give even more to achieve it.”
