Santiago Giménez has emerged as one of the most compelling strikers of his generation, a player whose decisive moments translate well to collectible narratives. Featured here for collectors at Walkouts, his career blends club silverware and international finals glory. Born in Buenos Aires and representing Mexico, Giménez combines a clear goalscoring record with memorable match winners that make signed shirts and authenticated memorabilia attractive to fans seeking provenance and documented moments.
Giménez began his senior career in Mexico with Cruz Azul, making his professional debut in the Copa MX on 2 August 2017 and his Liga MX debut on 28 August 2019. He scored his first senior goal on 2 February 2020, and played a part in Cruz Azul's long awaited league success when the club won the Liga MX Guardianes 2021 title in May 2021. Those formative seasons established his profile as a striker able to influence big games and finals.
On 29 July 2022 Giménez moved to Europe, signing for Feyenoord. In his debut Dutch season he helped the club secure the 2022-23 Eredivisie title, scoring 15 league goals and 23 across all competitions while setting a record for the most goals by a Mexican in a debut European season. He continued to excel in the Netherlands, delivering high profile performances including a hat trick in September 2023 and an assist in the KNVB Cup final victory on 21 April 2024. Across two seasons with Feyenoord he consistently featured in domestic and European competitions and set national scoring milestones in the Eredivisie.
Giménez completed his move to Italy when he signed for AC Milan on 3 February 2025. He marked an immediate impact, assisting João Félix in a Coppa Italia quarter final on 5 February 2025 and scoring on his Serie A debut on 8 February 2025. He also found the net in the Champions League on 18 February 2025, and further contributed with a brace on 9 May 2025 in a key league victory. These moments add tangible provenance to match worn shirts and authenticated autographs linked to those fixtures.
