Supporters of Wolverhampton Wanderers have been reacting to the latest transfer report which has linked Raul Jimenez with Juventus.
According to Tuttosport, as cited by Sport Witness, the Serie A club is still keen on the Mexican and is considering offering a swap deal involving Daniele Rugani and Adrien Rabiot (via @TalkingWolves), which fans reacted to.
Juventus’ interest in Raul Jimenez has been reported again today in Tuttosport.
The Italian club are looking for ways to afford the deal. The Italian outlet says an option could be a swap deal including defender Daniele Rugani and midfielder Adrien Rabiot.#WWFC #TalkingWolves pic.twitter.com/iqM1XI03fu

If they can’t afford him and need to throw in extras, jog on boys. Come back when you can afford the market value.

Can’t afford him, bye! ??

Would you take Adrien Rabiot, Daniele Rugani and £10 million for Raul Jimenez?Yes, that's a good deal
No, he's worth more

This season, Rugani has been the Old Lady’s 11th-best performer with a 6.93/10 average rating in the league and Rabiot has been their seventh-worst performer with a 6.7/10 average rating (per WhoScored).
So, when the report was shared to social media (via @TalkingWolves), the Molineux faithful continued airing their reactions to the rumour.
Honestly If they offered a bit of money as well I would except that. Jota can then play ST and we can see a lot more of Neto/Podence on the LW. Rugani and Rabiot play in positions we need to strengthen as well.

I know that no one, myself included, wants to see Raul leave. But how crazy is it that we can legitimately be talked about in the context of swap deals with Juventus? It just proves how far we’ve come in such a short space of time. That said, no deal ??

Rabiot is a troublemaker

Why would we sell our only out and out striker ? Any position’s that we need to fill we have the money. Thought we want to be a steady top 4 side ? Don’t think that happens if you turn over your best players

Would absolutely take Rabiot and Rugani, some real class and depth for the EL. Requires uncle Mendes to come through to secure a direct replacement but defo eases depth worries elsewhere

What do we think?
As can be seen in these responses from Wolves fans, the majority of supporters are not keen on the idea of Jimenez leaving, however, some fans are interested in the two players touted to be swapped.
With the 29-year-old forward having been the Old Gold’s second-best performer in the Premier League this season with an impressive 7.29/10 average rating (per WhoScored), it is clear to see why some fans want him to stay.
