For a 29 year old whos only real form was with us? I love the guy don’t get wrong, but 25 mill profit in one year is nothing to be sniffed at.

ONLY 60!?!

€60m for a 29 year old, would absolutely take that

If a bid of €60 million (£53.7m) arrived for Raul Jimenez, would you want it accepted?Yes, would be a good deal
No, that's not enough for him

The report from the Italian sports news outlet went on to state that the 29-year-old striker will ‘almost certainly leave Wolverhampton’ following the conclusion of this season.
However, once the report had been shared to social media (via @TalkingWolves), supporters continued airing their mixed reactions to the rumour.
Certainly shouldn’t sell to another premier club but if we are serious about champions League football and breaking into the top 4 we shouldn’t be selling our best players full stop

Top players get transferred between top clubs. Just gotta get used to it guys. We’d replace him with another top player from a top club. We’re at the top table now.

He’d be mad to leave….Nuno has made his career.

we would probably sell for 60 but I personally would rather keep him for one more season then sell cheaper next year if he wants to leave and buy his replacement this year and give him a full season to learn from Jiminez and fit our system ready for when he leaves

What do we think?
As can be seen in these responses from supporters, there is a divide between those who do not want Wolves to sell Jimenez and others that would accept €60 million (£53.7m).
After the 29-year-old Mexican has picked up a stellar 7.29/10 average rating in the Premier League this season, making him the side’s second-best performer (per WhoScored), it is no surprise that many are reluctant to see him leave.
