Lopetegui doesn't want Jimenez and reveals why he didn't make him play against Everton
Raul Jimenez denied a start against Everton, Julien Lopetegui has his reasons
The future of Raul Jimenez at Wolverhampton is not the most promising of all. The player has established himself in such a way that the club is already looking at other variants and has even just confirmed the arrival of another center-forward in Matheus Cunha to the English team.
During the match against Everton, after scoring in midweek in the Carabao Cup, Raul Jimenez was relegated to the bench, opting for Diego Costa as the starting striker. However, the talking point was that Raul Jimenez was ready to come on and Lopetegui ordered him back to the bench for some adjustments.

Podence's injury would have affected the coach's plans during the game between Wolves and Everton, for this reason, he gave way to the entry of Guedes in place of the Mexican. It seems that Jimenez is more of a rotational element than a substantial change for Julen Lopetegui's team.
Will Raul Jimenez leave Wolves?
According to W Deportes, there is a strong possibility that the Mexican will return to Liga MX under certain conditions. Although there is no closed agreement between Club America and the player, the team from Coapa is the best positioned and Jimenez would not mind returning to recover his level and be part of the process towards 2026.
