Benfica ready to sell Raul Jimenez to Wolves

Benfica are ready to sell Raul Jimenez to Wolves.

Benfica are willing to sanction the £30million summer sale of striker Jimenez to Wolves — after winning 10-0 without him, says the Mirror.

Mexico international Jimenez has been a smash-hit at Molineux with nine goals and five assists in 26 Premier League appearances since joining the promoted side on loan from the Lisbon giants.

Benfica are coping perfectly well without him — they are a point off the top of Portugal's Primeira Liga and hit double figures on Sunday against CD Nacional.

Jimenez is only at Wolves for the season as things stand, but their wealthy Chinese owners have a chance to make the deal permanent this summer for £30m.
