Wolverhampton to announce signing of Raul Jimenez for record USD 40 mn from Benfica

Wolverhampton Wanderers are set to confirm the permanent signing of Raul Jimenez from Benfica for a club-record fee of 30 million pounds ($39.53 million), British media reported on Thursday. The 27-year-old striker has scored 15 goals in 37 appearances since joining Wolves on a season-long loan in June 2018.

Sky Sports reported Jimenez had agreed on personal terms on a four-year deal, with the fee surpassing the 18 million pounds Wolves paid for Adama Traore last August. Mexico international Jimenez has helped Wolves reach seventh in the Premier League and a FA Cup semi-final place against Watford on Sunday.
