(Credit: Imago, Hasan Karim, Breaking Media) Tue 12 May 2026 14:02, UK Fulham are planning new contract talks with striker Raul Jimenez once they have settled the future of manager Marco Silva, sources have told Football Insider. Jimenez is set to explore all his options ahead of next term, and sources have indicated that there has been a hold-up in his discussions with Fulham due to the uncertainty over Silva’s future.

Fulham unlikely to lose Raul Jimenez to Premier League rivalsFootball Insider revealed on Monday that Everton are unlikely to move for Jimenez this summer, despite recent reports suggesting that they are interested in taking the Mexican on a free transfer. He has shown that he still has plenty to give at Premier League level after nine goals and three assists so far this term, and Fulham still feel that he will have a role to play for them in 2026-27.

The former recruitment boss suggested that the Eagles could use the potential for Europa League football next season to launch a move for the 48-year-old, who is set to have plenty of options available to him. He added that Silva is unlikely to be on the radar of any elite clubs, meaning a move to a side like Palace could be the natural next step for him. ⚪️ Don’t Miss a Beat: Your Fulham Insider Access Get the full story from Craven Cottage and Motspur Park with our dedicated expert hubs: Updated 24/7 with expert analysis from the heart of West London.
