Wolverhampton Wanderers star Raúl Jiménez has been speaking to the Mexican media during the international break, and had a very frank chat with TUDN regarding his future.
It’s no secret the local press has been pushing hard for the striker to join a bigger club, with Manchester United repeatedly named, as pundits often suggest that he deserves more, so one of the first questions was about the chase for him last summer.
“During vacations or a transfer window a new team will come out every day, what I knew was about the news, rumours,” Raul Jimenez told TUDN.
“One day I’d wake up and Juventus loved me, another it’d be Manchester United, and what I know is that there were approaches, but an agreement was never reached, nothing close, but I’m very good at Wolves.”
Then when asked if he was frustrated after not moving, Raúl Jiménez repeated that he’s not looking for a way out of Wolves.
“Well, not really, I’m very happy at Wolverhampton, it’s never forced because I’m in a place where I’m fine, they know I’m not satisfied, I’m always looking for more. It didn’t happen this time, if it happens at some point will have to want the best for me, Wolves and the team who came, but I’m very happy at Wolves being very important.”
The striker then claimed that if he’s doing so great at a club without big aspirations, then he could do it anywhere else.
“The truth is I’m giving my best by giving myself to the top in every training, game, I’m doing my best, obviously Wolves are not a team that is talked about a lot, but I’m in the best league in the world and if I’m doing it at a team that doesn’t have much popularity, I can do it at any team.”
Since joining Wolves in 2018, Raul Jimenez has 48 goals in 108 matches for the club. It was at the Molineux side that the striker turned into Mexico’s biggest star in the past few years, and still, the media from his country can’t hide how much they’d love to see him playing at another club.
