Wolves to offload Raul Jimenez?
Nuno Espírito Santo's side are slowly emerging as one of the respected sides in Premier League and they have enough potential to pull off a Leicester City in the coming years. The squad is perfectly managed with the quality of players around the world. James Rodriguez can blend in perfectly with the likes of Diogo Jota and Adama Traore if the deal is successful. As reported by The Sun, Wolves are set to sell Raul Jimenez to collect funds for Rodriguez.
The Premier League side are already in talks with the super agent Jorge Mendes to move ahead with the deal. James Rodriguez going to Wolves could prove to be a good move as the Colombian needs to add playing time to his name. Rodriguez is nothing but deadwood in Zidane's eyes and a move to a rising club like Wolves can play a big role in the Colombian's career. Wolves are currently on the sixth spot of the Premier League points table and have a fair chance to qualify for the Europa League next season.
