Supporters of Wolverhampton Wanderers have been airing their fury over a transfer report which has touted the departure of Raul Jimenez and links him with Juventus.
According to Tuttosport, as cited by Sport Witness, the Old Gold value the 29-year-old striker at €50 million (£44.7m), which the Serie A side believe is too pricey.
The report then goes on to state that Juventus see taking Jimenez on a two-year loan with an obligation to pay the touted fee in 2022 as a ‘more viable option’ (via @TalkingWolves), which fans were not happy about.
Wolves reportedly value Raul Jimenez at €50 million with Juventus still interested in the Mexican forward to replace Gonzalo Higuain.

Since they obviously think we’re giving things away, how about 55 mil for Raul AND Adama?!?! ?

Would you be open to selling Raul Jimenez to Juventus if the price was right?No, he's got to stay
Yes, for the right price

While the Mexican striker does have three seasons remaining on his Wolves contract following the conclusion of this term, he has a market value of only £36 million currently (per Transfermarkt).
However, after the report on Jimenez’s supposed move to Italy was shared to social media (via @TalkingWolves), Wolves fans continued airing their dissatisfaction.

What do we think?
As can be seen in these responses from Wolves supporters, they are not willing to entertain the idea of Jimenez leaving on a two-year loan before getting a fee of €50 million (£44.7m) in 2022.
With the Mexican being the second-best performer for Wolves in the Premier League so far this season with an average rating of 7.29/10 (per WhoScored), it is clear to see why fans are keen for him to stay.
