Raul Jimenez has his name written in indelible ink in the records of Wolverhampton since his arrival at the English club, becoming the team’s top scorer and one of the top figures.
Yet despite the fame he has achieved for his good performances that have placed him in the lane of several major clubs in Europe, the economic retaliation seems uneven in relation to the contribution he makes to the Lobos.
And it is that according to a report by Spotrac, the Mexican shooter is one of the lowest paid in the United States Eredivisie, besides not being in the top 10 of the highest paid players in Wolverhampton.
Jiménez, currently injured by a skull fracture She suffered a main clash with defender David Luiz and has earned two million euros ($ 2,930,000) a year since signing a four-year deal with the Aurinegros.
The players who earn the most from the Wolves are the Portuguese Joao Moutinho and Rui Patricio, who put up 5 million 200 thousand euros (7,130,000 dollars), more than double what the Aztec attacker does.
In Liga MX I would win more
Taking into account the footballing level that Raúl Jiménez has shown in recent seasons, he was allowed to play in the Liga MX he would certainly receive more money as a salary.
Giovani Dos Santos and Nicolás Castillo, for example, both earn $ 3 million per season America.
Jiménez’s file could potentially rank alongside the highest paid in Mexican football, such as Guillermo Ochoa or André-Pierre Gignac, which exceed $ 4.5 million annually.
