Fulham have announced that veteran Mexican international striker Raul Jimenez will leave the club from the English capital at the end of the month on the expiration of his contract.

The veteran forward has made himself a crucial figure in the Cottagers’ attack since joining from Wolves in 2023. Jimenez has scored 31 goals in 115 games in all competitions.
His most prolific Premier League season in a Fulham shirt came in the 2024/25 campaign, when he fired home 12 league goals and was an ever-present for the Cottagers.

Reportedly, Jimenez is in talks over a return to Wolves, who are looking to rebuild their squad after relegation from the Premier League to the Championship.
The forward first made his name in English with the Midlands club, having initially joined them on loan from Benfica in 2018. He spent five years with Wanderers, scoring 57 goals in 166 appearances in all competitions.
His 40 Premier League goals make Jimenez Wolves’ record Premier League goalscorer.
Jimenez is currently with his national team as they prepare for the World Cup, which they are co-hosting with Canada and the USA.
Wilson offered a fresh deal
Another out-of-contract player at Fulham is Wales international winger Harry Wilson. The former Liverpool star has been offered a new deal, but his future with the club remains in major doubt.
Wilson was one of the Cottagers’ outstanding performers last season, scoring 10 goals and providing 7 assists in the Premier League.
The 29-year-old’s performances have understandably caught the attention of a host of Premier League clubs. Leeds came close to signing the Welshman last summer, but the deal fell through.
The Yorkshire outfit is one of the clubs reportedly interested in signing Wilson this summer. However, Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Everton have all been linked with signing the winger this summer.
Villa are believed to be leading the race to sign Wilson this summer due to their ability to offer the Wales international Champions League football next season.
