After Marco Silva's Benfica Move, Fulham Bids Farewell to Former Eagle

Fulham announced on Monday that they will not be renewing the contracts of several players, including Raúl Jiménez, whose current deal expires on June 30th. The 31-year-old Mexican forward will depart Craven Cottage, where he has been since 2023.

The former Benfica striker scored 35 goals in 115 appearances for Fulham. He was also renowned for his perfect penalty record, considered the Premier League's most clinical spot-kick taker, converting all 14 penalties he faced while playing for both Wolverhampton and Fulham.

The London club highlighted that Jiménez "played a fundamental role during his three years at Fulham." After bidding farewell to Marco Silva, to whom they offered a contract extension until 2030 before he ultimately moved to Benfica, the club now parts ways with the forward who also has a history at the Estádio da Luz, having played there from 2015 to 2018.

Jiménez will therefore be out of contract during the 2026 World Cup, which he is set to play at home with Mexico. In addition to Jiménez, Steven Benda, Devan Tanton, Bradley De Jesus, Ollie Gofford, Charlie Robinson, Joseph Walters, Tom Wingate, Callum Cliff, Marcell Hall, Ruban Khan, Oliver Mayer, Harley Platel, and Quinn Schutter will also be leaving Fulham.

Conversely, Fulham also announced that they have made a contract extension offer to Harry Wilson, who is also nearing the end of his current deal.

The 29-year-old creative forward is coming off a highly productive season for Fulham (11 goals and eight assists in 41 games) and was even named the team's Player of the Season for 2025/26.
