Raúl Jiménez is now officially a new Atlético de Madrid player; the capital club have reached an agreement with Club América for the striker, who will join the Rojiblancos for the next six seasons. The deal is reported to have been closed at around 11 million euros. Atlético had hoped to bring Jiménez to Madrid on Wednesday but negotiations were delayed until an agreement was reached regarding the player’s signing on fee. In the end both agreed on a fee of 500,000 euros which will be shared between the club and player.
Jiménez is Atlético’s eighth signing of the summer, following Moyà, Oblak, Ansaldi, Mandzukic, Griezmann, Gámez and Siqueira. With América, the 23-year-old started out as an out-and-out striker but in recent years he has dropped back, playing deeper in an auxiliary role, playing off centre-forward Oribe ‘Cepillo’ Peralta.
Jiménez was part of the Mexico team which collected the gold medal at the 2012 London Olympics. He underwent trials with Club América’s archrivals, Cruz Azul but was coaxed to join ‘Las Águilas’ where he progressed through the various youth levels, making his senior debut in 2011. He is due to land at Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas at 14:30 tomorrow – the start of a new stage in his career
