Santiago Gimenez is changing agents and his career will now be managed by Rafaela Pimenta, it has been reported Super Sports.
The choice for his new agent is none other than the Brazilian Rafaela Pimenta, who is currently considered the most influential woman in the world of football. ‘Aunt Rafa’ served for many years as the right hand of Mino Raiola, who died on April 30, 2022.
The 23-year-old Mexican is now in his third season at Feyenoord and eventually wants to take the step to the European top. To take this step, an influential agent like Pimenta is indispensable. The Brazilian lawyer represents a list of more than forty names, including Erling Haaland, Matthijs de Ligt and Arne Slot.
Rafaela Pimenta and Feyenoord have met before. In the summer of 2023, she was closely involved in the negotiations between Feyenoord and Tottenham Hotspur about Arne Slot. A year later she arranged the dream transfer from Slot to Liverpool.
Santiago Gimenez is under contract with Feyenoord until mid-2027 and represents a market value of 40 million euros. The Mexican striker injured his thigh against NAC Breda last month and is currently recovering in Mexico. He is expected to be out of action for another two months.
