Mexico and Costa Rica faced off in a highly anticipated Group A clash at the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/gold-cup">Concacaf Gold Cup</a>. The match showcased a fierce battle for supremacy, with Mexico pressing hard and Costa Rica relying on the exceptional goalkeeping of Keylor Navas to keep the scoreline level. Santiago Giménez nearly stole the show late in the game with a goal, but it was ultimately ruled offside, leaving both teams to settle for a draw.



From the opening whistle, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mexico">Mexico</a> dominated possession and dictated the tempo, patiently working the ball through midfield in search of openings. Despite their control, El Tri struggled to penetrate Costa Rica’s organized defense and were repeatedly denied by Navas’ acrobatic saves. Costa Rica, meanwhile, relied on quick counterattacks and maintained solid defensive discipline to frustrate their opponents.



The intensity of the match grew as both teams fought hard in midfield, with physical challenges and tactical battles shaping much of the action. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/costa-rica">Costa Rica</a> received several yellow cards amid rising tensions, and Mexico’s final passes often lacked the precision needed to break down the resilient Ticos.



As the match wound down, Mexico ramped up the pressure in search of a late winner. Santiago Giménez found the back of the net in the dying moments, only to have the goal ruled out for offside. The 0-0 result means both teams earn valuable points and advance in the tournament, but the match was defined by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/keylor-navas">Navas</a>’ heroics and the fine margins that kept the score even.

13' - Intensity dips after the first 10 minutes (0-0)

Following a frenetic start, both Mexico and Costa Rica have eased up slightly on the aggression and tempo. The early physicality has given way to a more measured approach as each side looks to find rhythm and control possession. The battle for midfield dominance is heating up quietly now.

18' - Mexico looks to impose their style and press forward (0-0)

So far, Mexico is focused on controlling possession and dictating the pace of the match. They’re patiently building from the back and trying to break down Costa Rica’s defensive shape. However, despite holding the ball well, clear chances in the attacking third remain limited at this stage.

22' - Costa Rica capitalizes on Mexico’s possession lapse (0-0)

As Mexico focuses on maintaining possession, a momentary lapse leaves them vulnerable to counterattacks. Costa Rica tries to exploit these opportunities with quick breaks, but so far, their efforts haven’t resulted in any clear chances. The Ticos remain dangerous on the break, keeping Mexico alert.

23' - Keylor Navas, the hero of the moment! (0-0)

After a Mexico corner, Raúl Jiménez rises powerfully for a towering header that looks destined for goal—but Keylor Navas pulls off a stunning save to keep Costa Rica in the game. The danger isn’t over yet, as a fierce volley from the rebound is also expertly denied by the Costa Rican goalkeeper. What a crucial double save!

29' - Mexico presses on with growing control (0-0)

Mexico has settled into the rhythm of the match and is clearly taking command on the field. They’re creating clearer chances now, showcasing sharp passing and build-up play. However, the final ball still lacks precision and depth, preventing them from truly breaking through Costa Rica’s organized defense.

34' - Stalemate with lack of clear ideas from both sides (0-0)

Both Mexico and Costa Rica are pushing to create offensive opportunities, but the game currently lacks creativity and clear-cut chances. The build-up play feels tentative, and neither team has been able to carve out significant danger in the attacking third so far.

36' - Close call for Costa Rica! (0-0)

A brilliant sequence sparked by a timely interception leads to a quick long ball forward. Costa Rica’s Carlos Mora controls the ball down the left flank, receives a tight-angled pass, and comes agonizingly close to scoring. The shot forces a smart save and sends a warning to Mexico—Los Ticos are very much alive in this battle!

42' -  Dangerous free kick for Costa Rica! (0-0)

Chávez commits a foul just outside the box on Alonso Martínez, handing Costa Rica a promising set-piece opportunity. Brandon Aguilera steps up to take the free kick but sends it sailing well over the crossbar—an opportunity wasted for Los Ticos. Mexico breathes a sigh of relief!

45' - Halftime at Allegiant Stadium! (0-0)

It's scoreless at the break in this Group A clash between Mexico and Costa Rica. El Tri dominated possession and controlled the tempo, but struggled to break down Costa Rica’s disciplined defense. Meanwhile, Los Ticos nearly struck on the counter, with Carlos Mora coming closest. All to play for in the second half—stay tuned!

45' - Second half underway! (0-0)

We’re back in action at Allegiant Stadium! Mexico and Costa Rica take the field for the final 45 minutes with the score still level.

50' - More of the same to start the second half (0-0)

The second half opens much like the first—Mexico resumes control with calm possession, looking to dictate the rhythm and probe for openings. Costa Rica, meanwhile, continues to battle with heart and grit, chasing every loose ball and trying to hit on the break. It's a tactical tug-of-war with plenty of intensity, but still lacking that final spark.

55' - So close for Mexico! (0-0)

A brilliant counterattack sparked from a throw-in nearly breaks the deadlock. Mexico moves quickly in transition, ending with a lofted cross to the far post. Raúl Jiménez makes the run but just misses the final touch as the ball flashes inches wide of Costa Rica’s goal. A golden opportunity narrowly missed by El Tri!

59' - Play halted as Mitchell receives treatment (0-0)

Right after the incident, Costa Rica makes a change—Mitchell comes off and is replaced by Kenay Myrie. The intensity is rising with every minute!

68' - Mexico saved by the post! (0-0)

Costa Rica comes inches away from taking the lead! A well-worked attacking move finds Alonso Martínez in space inside the box. He takes the shot, and it beats Malagón—but smashes off the post and bounces out. Huge let-off for Mexico, who are living dangerously as Costa Rica grows in confidence!

miniaturas

Mexico continue their <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/gold-cup">2025 Concacaf Gold Cup</a> campaign with a Group A matchup against Suriname, and the big lineup news is that Santiago Gimenez will not be in the starting XI. The striker started in their opening win over the Dominican Republic but has been dropped to the bench by head coach Javier Aguirre for Matchday 2.



With one win already under their belt, Javier Aguirre’s squad are looking to move closer to securing a spot in the knockout stage. Costa Rica currently sit atop Group A with six points from two matches, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mexico">Mexico</a> hope to challenge for the top spot in the final group fixture.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/santiago-gimenez">Giménez</a>’s exclusion stems from Aguirre’s dissatisfaction with his performance in the tournament opener. Despite the 3–2 victory, the Milan forward left doubts after failing to convert several clear chances that could have widened the lead and eased the pressure on the team.



As a result, Aguirre has opted to start Julian Quiñones in his place against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/suriname">Suriname</a>, signaling a need for greater efficiency up front as Mexico push to secure their place in the next round.

<h2>Mexico’s confirmed starting XI vs Suriname</h2>



Javier Aguirre’s side have made both a formation switch and four changes to their starting XI compared to the lineup that faced the Dominican Republic. Santiago Giménez, Jorge Sánchez, Erik Lira, and Orbelín Pineda will all start on the bench, as Mexico look to freshen things up for their second group stage match.

Why is Santiago Gimenez not starting today for Mexico vs Suriname at the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup? - Bolavip US

While the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup takes place, CONCACAF turns its focus to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/gold-cup" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gold Cup</a>. Mexico, the reigning champions, aim to win back-to-back titles, a feat they have not achieved since 1996 and 1998. Meanwhile, the United States want to lift the trophy and strengthen a project centered on young talent. At the same time, Canada look to break a 25-year drought without a Gold Cup title. With the tournament approaching, artificial intelligence has already offered early predictions.



To get an early sense of how things might play out, Bolavip US turned to artificial intelligence for a forecast. When asked to predict the 2025 Gold Cup winner, ChatGPT offered an answer that caught fans by surprise: “<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mexico" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mexico</a> stand out as the top contender to win the 2025 Gold Cup due to its experienced squad, strong tactical identity, and full-strength roster. Under Javier Aguirre, the team has developed cohesion and versatility, combining experienced like Edson Álvarez with emerging talents such as Santiago Gimenez.”



The AI also analyzed the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/USMNT" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">USMNT</a>’s situation under coach Mauricio Pochettino. “The United States enters the 2025 Gold Cup with a younger, experimental squad and plenty of questions after recent poor performances. Despite playing at home, the team lacks key leaders and may struggle to find consistency. A semifinal run is possible, but anything beyond that would be a surprise.”



Despite having a clear national team candidate to win the Gold Cup, the AI did not hesitate to explain the reasons why the Canadian national team would not be a candidate for the title. “Canada remain a threat with stars like Jonathan David, but questions persist about their midfield depth and ability to handle high-pressure matches.”

<h2>Who will be the best player at the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup?</h2>



The Canadian and United States national teams will miss key players due to the FIFA Club World Cup and other personal setbacks, such as injuries. As a result, the 2025 Gold Cup could offer a chance for new stars to emerge. In the 2023 edition, Panama’s Adalberto Carrasquilla claimed the award for best player. Now, the spotlight shifts again, and this time, the prediction comes from artificial intelligence.

According to ChatGPT, one player stands out above the rest. “<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/santiago-gimenez" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Santiago Gimenez</a> is set to be the standout performer of the 2025 Gold Cup. He arrives at the tournament in top form following a standout season in Serie A. His blend of physicality, intelligent movement, and clinical finishing makes him the centerpiece of Mexico’s offense. If El Tri goes on to win the title—as expected—Giménez is likely to be the decisive figure in key moments, much like he was in the 2023 final.”

For over 15 years, the soccer world has been captivated by the rivalry between <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> and Cristiano Ronaldo, with fans passionately divided over which superstar reigns supreme. Both players claimed their first Ballon d’Ors at a young age—CR7 in 2008 and Leo the following year—igniting a competition that continues to define modern soccer. Recently, a rising star for the Mexican national team weighed in on the debate and made his choice clear.



During an interview with TNT Sports Mexico, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/santiago-gimenez">Santiago Gimenez</a> participated in a rapid-fire quiz about his life, career, and soccer preferences. When asked to pick between Messi and Ronaldo, his answer was immediate: “Messi.”



Gimenez’s choice might raise eyebrows, as his playing style seems more aligned with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Ronaldo</a>’s attributes than Messi’s. As a prolific striker with Feyenoord in the Eredivisie, Gimenez thrives in the penalty box, showcasing physicality, sharp instincts, and an uncanny ability to find and finish scoring opportunities—qualities often associated with Cristiano Ronaldo.



However, Gimenez’s personal history appears to have played a significant role in his preference. Born in Buenos Aires in 2001, Gimenez moved to Mexico at the age of 3 with his father, Christian Gimenez, an Argentine player who built a successful career in Mexican <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer">soccer</a>. Christian became a naturalized citizen and even represented Mexico at the international level, influencing his son’s eventual decision to play for the country.



Despite his loyalty to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mexico">Mexico</a>, Santiago Gimenez retains a deep connection to his Argentine roots, which undoubtedly shapes his admiration for Messi. Earlier this year, Gimenez shared a photo on Instagram featuring Lionel Messi’s signed Inter Miami jersey. He captioned the post: “GOAT… Thank you Leo Messi,” accompanied by emojis of a goat and a heart.

<h2>Messi’s influence</h2>



Santiago Gimenez has often expressed his admiration for Lionel Messi. In an interview with TyC Sports, the Feyenoord striker said, “I’m not lying, I love Messi. He’s an animal; he’s the greatest of all time.”



When asked about his choice to represent Mexico over Argentina, Gimenez offered a heartfelt explanation regarding Messi: “It’s better to play against him. I love him; I think he’s the best player in history. But I wasn’t going to make the decision for Messi—I was going to make it with my heart… and I’m happy with the decision.”



<h2>Gimenez chooses between Mbappe and Haaland</h2>



In the same interview with TNT Sports Mexico, Gimenez was asked to choose between two of today’s brightest young stars: Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe. Initially impressed by Haaland’s dominance, Gimenez said, “I was amazed by Haaland, he’s an animal.” However, he ultimately sided with Mbappe, citing the Frenchman’s incredible hat-trick in the World Cup final. “To score three goals in a World Cup final… I think Mbappe,” he concluded.

Santiago Gimenez’s picks reveal not only his deep admiration for the game’s legends but also his grounded perspective as a player. As his career continues to flourish, Gimenez’s respect for icons like Messi and Mbappe serves as a testament to his own aspirations on the global stage.

Dutch club Feyenoord showed their interest and signed him on a 4-year contract, securing the forward services as his career made its way to Europe.



<h2>Mexican squad for Copa America: Young talents</h2>



The Mexican team is composed mostly of young players, with an average age of 26 years. Goalkeeper Julio Gonzalez is the oldest member of the team at 33 years old, and he is the only player in the squad over 30 years old.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240618_BUS_133785_Marcelo-Flores-of-Tigres-1024x576_d5254df0.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-133795" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/Marcelo-Flores-of-Tigres-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/Marcelo-Flores-of-Tigres-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/Marcelo-Flores-of-Tigres-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/Marcelo-Flores-of-Tigres-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/Marcelo-Flores-of-Tigres.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Marcelo Flores of Tigres – IMAGO / Agencia-MexSport</figcaption></figure>



Among the young prospects, Marcelo Flores from Tigres UANL stands out as the youngest player on the team at just 20 years old, along with Bryan Gonzalez from Pachuca, who is 21 years old. Despite already being an established player, it is impossible not to mention Santiago Gimenez, an important player for Feyenoord at only 23 years old.



<h2>Mexican squad for Copa America: Expectations</h2>



Mexico did not have an easy group, but it could have been much worse. They are one of the favorites to advance to the next round, understanding that the strongest rival in the group is Ecuador.

<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/copa-america/argentinas-squad-for-copa-america-2024-messi-and-the-rising-stars-to-watch"></div>


Jamaica are another rival from Concacaf, a conference in which Mexico are one of the great powers, making Jamaica a team they can beat.

For a second consecutive year, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/santiago-gimenez">Santiago Gimenez</a> is one of the top players in the Netherlands. The Mexican forward has scored 21 goals in the 2023-2024 season of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/eredivisie">Eredivisie</a>. Only Vangelis Pavlidis and Luuk de Jong are ahead of him. 



That’s why, next summer, Gimenez might finally sign with a powerhouse in Europe. However, the story is very different when he plays for Mexico’s national team.



Last Thursday, during the semifinals of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/concacaf-nations-league">Concacaf Nations League</a> against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/panama">Panama</a>, Santi didn’t play at all. No minutes even coming from the bench. Coach Jaime Lozano preferred Henry Martin as his starting striker surrounded by players such as Julian Quiñones and Uriel Antuna. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240323_BUS_113853_jaimelozano-1024x576_e26b0353.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-113858" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/jaimelozano-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/jaimelozano-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/jaimelozano-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/jaimelozano-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/jaimelozano.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Jaime Lozano is in the middle of a huge controversy with Santiago Gimenez (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Why is Santiago Gimenez not playing with Mexico?</h2>



This is merely a tactical decision by coach Jaime Lozano. Henry Martin has been the favorite player for his scheme since he managed the U-23 team and led them to bronze medal in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.







Now, a major controversy has erupted in Mexico because cameras captured Santiago Gimenez kicking the bench at the end of the match against Panama. The forward just couldn’t hide his frustration.



Even his father, the famous ‘Chaco’ Gimenez, had to clarify what happened in an interview with Fox Sports. “He’s a bit disappointed by the reaction in the moment, but I take it as something normal. He was angry and didn’t measure that moment. It was really just that. In that sense, he’s sorry to his teammates, he’s sorry to the coach for the reaction he had, but it’s something normal.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20221103#CMS#4"></div>


Meanwhile, Lozano admitted that he didn’t expect to leave Santiago Gimenez on the bench for the entire match, but circumstances led him to make that decision. Now, the big question is whether he will play as a starter in the final against the United States.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/santiago-gimenez">Santiago Gimenez</a>‘s electric start to the season is not going unnoticed. Apart from making headlines, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mexico">Mexico</a> international has reportedly drawn interest from European giants. According to ESPN, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">Barcelona</a> are closely monitoring the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/feyenoord">Feyenoord</a> striker.



Gimenez, 22, has been extremely prolific this term, with 15 goals in 12 appearances across all competitions. The report claims Barca have been following his progress since he moved to the Netherlands last year.



In the wake of his recent performances, the Catalan side is understood to have “intensified” its monitoring. But as exciting as this may sound for Mexico or Barcelona fans, maybe we should hold our horses for a little bit.



<h2>Despite their interest, Gimenez may not join Barca anytime soon</h2>



Barcelona keeping tabs on Gimenez makes perfect sense. He’s young, prolific, and could seek a move to one of the top five European leagues in the future. That said, there are many reasons why this move could wait.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20231101_BUS_82296_Santiago-Gimenez-1-1024x576.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Santiago Gimenez" class="wp-image-76826" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Santiago-Gimenez-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Santiago-Gimenez-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Santiago-Gimenez-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Santiago-Gimenez-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Santiago-Gimenez-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Santiago Gimenez</figcaption></figure>



The Cules still have Robert Lewandowski as their primary striker, and they’ve secured the signature of Brazilian youngster Vitor Roque not long ago. In the meantime, Xavi Hernandez has also operated with Joao Felix and Ferran Torres up front. In short, landing another striker is not priority for Barcelona right now.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231027#BUS#80668"></div>


Additionally, the club is over the salary cap in LaLiga, which prevents it from adding new players to its roster. On top of that, Feyenoord’s demands will probably be hard to satisy for Barca.



<h2>Santiago Gimenez’s stock is on the rise</h2>



Gimenez’s terrific form this season made an impact on his market value. According to the latest Transfermarkt update, the 22-year-old is worth €40 million. In June, he was valued at €25m.


<div class="wp_fsn_poll" id="654299e6f2b571abd7e46e4d" data-title="Would you like to see Santiago Gimenez at Barcelona?" data-options="2"></div>


His contract with Feyenoord runs through the 2026-27 campaign, which gives the Dutch club even more leverage to demand a high offer to let the forward go. Besides, the fact that there are not many strikers available on the market will only increase his price.



Gimenez already has 22 caps for the Mexican national team, having scored four international goals. He still has his entire career in front of him, but the future looks bright for the former Cruz Azul star.

It has been a big climb for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mexico" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mexican</a> prodigy <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/santiago-gimenez" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Santiago Giménez</a>, at 22 he is improving every day at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/feyenoord" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Feyenoord</a>, after coming up and playing 88 games at Cruz Azul in Liga MX. Giménez is in his second season at Feyenoord, but all signs point to a major transfer sooner rather than later. 



In only one full season, Giménez is at 38 goals in 56 games for the club in all competitions. Now amid interest from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Real Madrid</a> and Tottenham, Feyenoord has an asking price. 



Santiago Giménez is the son of footballer Christian Giménez, who also played with Cruz Azul. Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Giménez moved to Mexico at the age of three with his father after he was transferred to Primera División side Veracruz. 



<h2>How much is Santiago Giménez worth in the transfer market? </h2>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231026#BUS#80254"></div>


According to 90Min, Santiago Giménez’s asking price placed by Feyenoord is $105 million, the Mexican international has a contract with the club until June of 2027 so Feyenoord can sit pretty in hopes a club matches their asking price.

<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231027#BUS#80654"></div>


Tottenham is looking for their next big star following the departure of Harry Kane and Santiago Giménez could be a long-term solution for a club still searching to be something more than a top four finish team.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> is still widely regarded as the greatest soccer player on Earth, even if he’s 36 and is no longer playing in Europe. However, age is a significant factor when it comes to market value, which explains why the Argentine star has been <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/the-seven-argentine-players-who-are-worth-more-than-lionel-messi-20230922-BUS-66719.html">surpassed by other players</a>.



In fact, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mexico">Mexico</a> can take pride in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/santiago-gimenez">Santiago Gimenez</a>‘s impressive rise. According to the latest Transfermarkt update, the Feyenoord sensation is worth €40 million, which is €5 million more than Messi’s current market value.



At 22, the Mexican striker is enjoying his time in the Netherlands. Apart from surpassing the 7x Ballon d’Or winner – he was worth €25m in June – Gimenez is the most expensive player in the Eredivisie right now.



<h2>Santiago Gimenez is the most expensive Mexican player on Earth</h2>



The former Cruz Azul star, who left the Liga MX outfit for the Dutch side in July 2022, is the most valuable player on the Mexican national team. West Ham midfielder Edson Alvarez is reportedly worth €35m – just like Messi – whereas Hirving Lozano (another Mexican in the Eredivisie) is valued at €22 million.

In the Dutch league, Gimenez is followed by Feyenoord teammates Lutsharel Geertruida and David Hancko, who are worth €35 million and €30 million, respectively.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231015#BUS#76074"></div>


<h2>Santi Gimenez’s increase in market value at Feyenoord</h2>



Gimenez has enjoyed a significant rise in market value since he moved to Europe. The forward was worth just €4 million in April 2022, before he packed his bags and left Mexico. But gradually, his stock went up.



By November 2022, Gimenez’s worth rose to €6 million. In March 2023, that number increased by €3m. His market value soared in the next three months, rising to €25m before climbing to the current €40m market value.


<div class="wp_fsn_poll" id="652f05f5f2b571abd7e45553" data-title="Can Santiago Gimenez be a top striker in Europe?" data-options="2"></div>


Since Gimenez’s career is just getting started, it’s not a surprise to see his increase in market value contrast with the decline in Messi’s worth. The Inter Miami star has just led Argentina to an unforgettable World Cup success and continues to delight fans in MLS, but the fact that he’s not getting any younger only makes his price drop.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mexico">Mexico</a> got a huge 2-0 win against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ghana">Ghana</a> in a friendly match at Charlotte. However, the big story was the absence of Santiago Gimenez in the starting lineup of new coach Jaime Lozano.



In the last few months, the young forward has been sensational for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/feyenoord">Feyenoord</a> in the Eredivisie. Nevertheless, one of the most controversial decisions by Lozano is to use him coming from the bench. 



Jaime Lozano took over as interim coach in last summer’s Gold Cup. He surprisingly hoisted the trophy and, after the tournament, was officially appointed as the leader of a massive project toward the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/world-cup">2026 World Cup</a>.



It’s important to remember that Mexico will be host alongside the United States and Canada. That’s why, millions of fans are waiting for a new generation of players to emerge following a massive failure at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/qatar-2022">Qatar 2022</a>.

<h2>Why is Santiago Gimenez not playing for Mexico?</h2>



For the game between Mexico and Ghana, Jaime Lozano chose Raul Jimenez over Santiago Gimenez and Henry Martin. He was accompanied on attack by Hirving Lozano and Orbelin Pineda. In minute 73′ of the match, Santi replaced Raul as, right now, there’s only place for one ‘9’ in Jaime Lozano’s tactical scheme. 



That decision was severely criticized by analysts and fans. Though Jimenez is trying to revamp his career with Fulham, the numbers of Santi are just superb at Feyenoord. This was Lozano’s explanation.







“I brought three great forwards. I made my decision based on the rival and in Raul’s moment. In the last two games he showed it. He scored three goals for us. It’s a nice competition between the two of them.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231012#BUS#74875"></div>


When asked if Santiago Gimenez could be the starter next Tuesday against Germany in Philadelphia, Lozano avoided the question and praised the team’s effort against Ghana.



“We want to do our best in these matches. We want to take wins and also keep growing. We want to take solid steps in this process. We want to build a good team and a great group of people. Certainly we’ll make some changes for waht’s coming against Germany, but I try to move the pieces according to the rivals to promote this competition between them.”

Especially for not choosing the striker although he had a good season at the Dutch club Feyenoord.
The move that made the Argentine coach be criticized the most is leaving Giménez out of the squad. His case, unlike the one of Corona, wasn’t injury related. He is simply not going to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-what-is-the-record-for-the-fastest-goal-in-a-fifa-world-cup-20221109-0043.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Qatar 2022</a> because Martino chose others over him.

Jiménez would be a lock any day if he was healthy, but he hasn’t been able to play since August. Funes Mori didn’t have his best performances in the previous months, so that added to the discussions. A setback from Jiménez may open the door again, although his possibilities are low.
