Raúl Jiménez Keeps Door Open to América Return After World Cup

His Fulham contract ends after the 2026 World Cup, forcing clubs in Mexico and England to wait for his post-tournament choice.

Overview

  • On June 2, 2026 Jiménez told TUDN that he is focused on Mexico’s World Cup campaign but has not ruled out returning to Club América.
  • Jiménez’s contract with Fulham expires after the tournament, and multiple outlets say he will decide his club future once Mexico’s World Cup run ends.
  • Club América has made signing a high-profile centre-forward a priority for the Apertura 2026 and has identified Jiménez as its leading candidate after reports that Henry Martín is likely to leave.
  • TV Azteca and other Mexican outlets report that Wolverhampton and Everton are also interested in signing Jiménez, creating competition from England for his signature.
  • Fans and América officials will closely watch his post-World Cup decision because a return would give the club an experienced striker and change transfer plans for the Apertura 2026; Jiménez last played for América in an official match on August 9, 2014.
