Wolverhampton Wanderers fans have decided what transfer fee the Old Gold should accept if offered for Raul Jimenez.
Wolves Live asked the question to the Molineux faithful over social media on Wednesday evening, and many fans deliberated over their asking price for the Mexican (as per Wolves Live).
After 32 goals and 10 assists across 2019 (as per Transfermarkt), many were reluctant to decide on any fee at all – and that Nuno Espirito Santo should keep the 28-year-old striker at all costs.
He’s not for sale either… just like @rubendsneves_

So far this term, the in-form striker has bagged an impressive 13 goals in 22 outings for the Old Gold in all competitions, also laying on three assists for teammates (per Transfermarkt).
Having signed for Espirito Santo from Benfica over the summer for a club-record fee of £30 million after a year on loan (per BBC), some supporters were more realistic about an asking price.
Based on his age, what we paid for him.

Not for sale but if those deluded villa fans can rate mcginn and grealish so highly the. Raul has to be worth at least 60 million now , 32 in the summer was an absolute steal

What do we think?
Having had such a prolific season so far, the Mexican is an essential player at Molineux now, and £30 million does indeed look a steal in the current climate of the market.
It would be likely, should any side wish to take Jimenez away from the Midlands, that he would cost quite a bit more now than he did in the summer, having proven himself in the Premier League and Europe.
