Raúl Jiménez has returned to Wolverhampton, but América remains firmly in his thoughts. The Mexico striker says he still hopes to play again for the club where he made his professional breakthrough.

Jiménez chose to remain in Europe and joined the Wolves in the English Championship, despite the club’s place in the second division. He has already scored twice in his return. He converted a penalty against Blackburn Rovers in the opening round of the 2026-27 season and scored another penalty in a 4-1 win over Stoke City in the third round.

The forward’s record with Wolverhampton helps explain the connection. He has played 171 matches for the club and scored 59 goals, the highest totals of his career for any team. He is also a four-time World Cup player for Mexico, having appeared at Brazil 2014, Russia 2018, Qatar 2022 and North America 2026.

I have always said it, I would like to return to América, but I also want to still be at a good level and be able to contribute, because it is not just about returning and doing nothing.

— Raúl JiménezThe Mexico striker explained that he wants a return to América only if he can still contribute on the field.

Speaking to FOX, Jiménez said, “I have always said it, I would like to return to América, but I also want to still be at a good level and be able to contribute, because it is not just about returning and doing nothing.”

He later added, “So we will see, I have always had that unfinished business of wanting to return.” Jiménez has previously said he would reject an approach from Chivas because his plans center on América.

So we will see, I have always had that unfinished business of wanting to return.
