"Welcome home," reads the end of the video. Jiménez played for the Wolves between 2018 and 2023 (initially on loan from Benfica, before a permanent transfer for €41 million a year later), scoring 57 goals in 166 appearances.

In 2023, the Mexican forward signed with Fulham, who paid Wolverhampton €6.4 million. Under Marco Silva, Jiménez made 115 appearances and scored 31 goals.

Now, at 35, he returns to Molineux, where Jiménez will play in the Championship, England's second tier, for the first time. Wolverhampton was relegated after finishing last in the Premier League.
