Juventus thought on Raúl Jiménez as the successor of Cristiano Ronaldo and the Portuguese reacted

Raúl Jiménez himself recognized that Juventus and Manchester United were after him during the last months. The Mexican attacker is having a great season at Wolverhampton and that caught the attention of some of the biggest clubs in Europe. The chances form him to go to Juve were high but something happened.

Even though we can still think that the move could be done, it had more chances to do so during the last transfer window. COVID-19 pandemic and the global crisis make the signing fall. But Cristiano Ronaldo was not happy to listen that he was going to be replaced at the Vecchia Signora.

The Portuguese legend plays for Juventus since he joined the club on July 2018 and after more than two years could be leaving now. With a contract remaining until June 2022 and at the age of 35, there are several chances that the club tries to sell him before his professional career reaches an end.

Jiménez was one of the players spotted by Juventus to replace Cristiano. Playing for Wolves, the Mexican scored 48 goals after 108 games played and so far this season, he netted four goals on eight Premier League games. If the move is done it must be for a huge amount of money, as the English side paid $40 million for Jiménez on July 2019 and won’t let him out that easy.
