Breaking News: Raul Jimenez Bids Emotional Farewell as “Once a Wolf, Always a Wolf”
In a heartfelt and emotional farewell, star striker Raul Jimenez broke down in tears as he addressed fans, teammates, and the Wolverhampton Wanderers organization during a press conference today. The Mexican international, who has been a key player for Wolves since joining the club in 2018, announced his departure after a memorable tenure filled with both triumph and tribulation.
“I want to say thank you to everyone who believed in me and supported me through some of the toughest times,” Jimenez said, visibly emotional. “Once a Wolf, always a Wolf. This club will always hold a special place in my heart.” The 32-year-old forward became a fan favorite during his time at Molineux, showcasing not just his skill on the pitch but also his resilience off it.
Jimenez’s journey with Wolves has been nothing short of remarkable. In his early days with the club, he quickly established himself as a prolific goal scorer, netting over 50 goals and assisting many others during his tenure. However, his career took a life-altering turn in November 2020 when he suffered a serious head injury following a collision with Arsenal defender David Luiz. The injury enforced a lengthy recovery process, but Jimenez’s determination and spirit never wavered.
Reflecting on his career at Wolves, Jimenez expressed gratitude for the unwavering support from fans, teammates, and staff. “They lifted me up when I needed it the most. I came to Wolverhampton as a player, but I leave as part of a family. I will carry the memories with me forever,” he stated.
Reports suggest that Jimenez may be making a switch to a club in La Liga, where he hopes to continue his career in a familiar environment. While this news has saddened Wolves supporters, many have taken to social media to thank him for his contributions and to wish him well in his future endeavors.
As he left the press conference, Jimenez paused to hold up a Wolves jersey, a poignant symbol of his connection to the club he cherishes so deeply. With tears in his eyes, he whispered, “To the Wolves family, I will always be one of you.”
His farewell marks the end of an era for Wolverhampton, and while the club will miss Jimenez’s talent on the pitch, his legacy will undoubtedly endure in the hearts of those who followed his inspiring journey.
