Valencia’s ambition to sign AC Milan youngster faces major obstacle from Real Madrid

La Liga side Valencia are actively seeking to strengthen their squad for the future, and Alex Jimenez has emerged as a priority target, according to a report from CalcioMercato.

The 19-year-old Spaniard, currently playing for AC Milan, has caught the attention of Valencia’s scouting team. However, the move faces a significant hurdle in the form of Real Madrid’s involvement.

Jimenez, who joined AC Milan from Real Madrid in the summer of 2023, has shown immense potential despite limited opportunities with Milan’s first team under the guidance of manager Paulo Fonseca.

While he has not yet established himself at the top level, the youngster has impressed in Serie C, delivering crucial goals and gaining valuable playing time. Milan see him as a key player for their future plans, making a transfer complicated.
