Top 5 Premier League forwards approaching contract expiry: Stay or go?

Several top Premier League forwards, including Mohamed Salah, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Callum Wilson, Raul Jimenez, and Jamie Vardy, are nearing the end of their contracts. Their futures remain uncertain, with some likely to stay while others could move on. Here’s a look at what’s next for each player.

Raúl Jiménez (Fulham)

The Mexican forward has been in fine form this season, scoring 10 Premier League goals as Fulham pushes for European qualification. They are currently just three points behind Manchester United, and with fifth place likely securing a Champions League spot, Fulham remains in contention.

Jiménez started the season as Fulham’s first-choice striker but later lost his place to Rodrigo Muniz. However, this season, he has reclaimed his spot and delivered strong performances. The severe head injury he suffered in 2020 had raised doubts about his long-term career, but he now appears to have moved past those concerns.

Jiménez’s contract is set to expire at the end of the season, but according to GiveMeSport, Fulham is expected to trigger a 12-month extension. Given his improved form and the club’s desire to keep him, there is little reason for him to seek a move elsewhere.

Prediction: STAY
