Raul Jimenez to Everton transfer on cards as Fulham set for contract heartbreak
Raul Jimenez could potentially be on his way to Everton after leaving Fulham in the upcoming transfer window.
According to journalist Christian Vaquero on X on 7 May, the Toffees are keeping a close eye on the striker’s situation at Craven Cottage.
It has been claimed that negotiations over a new deal between the Cottagers and the Mexico international, whose contract expires at the end of the season, have stalled.
While Fulham want to keep the 35-year-old, his situation will be worth monitoring as the Premier League campaign enters its final few games and the Merseysiders have a chance to break hearts in SW6.
Jimenez’s move to Hill Dickinson Stadium has emerged as a possibility ahead of the summer and it remains to be seen how things will develop in the coming weeks.

Raul Jimenez transfer a no-brainer at Everton
If the Toffees are able to pull off a deal for Jimenez, they should take it with both hands.
Club America have also been linked with the veteran centre-forward, but the Blues can offer him a chance of staying in the Premier League if he leaves Fulham.

| Big chances missed | 9 |
| Big chances created | 2 |
The Mexican striker has been a key player for the Cottagers this season, scoring nine goals and providing three assists in 34 appearances.
Jimenez represents an opportunity for David Moyes to add depth and experience to the number nine position at Hill Dickinson Stadium and the Merseyside outfit shouldn’t miss out on the opportunity if it arises.
Beto problems may arise after Raul Jimenez deal at Hill Dickinson Stadium
Beto’s future at Everton was uncertain in the winter transfer window after playing second fiddle to Thierno Barry in the first half of the season.
The Guinea-Bissau striker now seems to be the undisputed first-choice number nine for Moyes, but that could possibly change once again in the 2026-27 campaign.
If the Blues buy another striker to compete with Beto and Barry, the former Udinese star may opt to look for an exit for guaranteed minutes away from L3.
The 28-year-old’s exit would certainly leave the Merseyside outfit with more holes to fill in the squad, but only time will tell what The Friedkin Group have planned for the summer.
