The move of Joselu from the demoted RCD Espanyol to Real Madrid during the summer transfer window did not inspire a great lot of enthusiasm among Real Madrid fans. Joselu was sent to Real Madrid on loan from RCD Espanyol.
Due to the fact that they had lost Karim Benzema, the Madridistas were expecting that their club would go out and purchase a top striker in order to replace the vacuum that was left by his departure.
That was not the case, however, as Joselu was the only forward that came despite the fact that Los Blancos said farewell to Benzema, Marco Asensio, and Mariano Diaz. Joselu was the only forward who arrived.
Near the halfway point of the current season, Joselu has already outperformed Mariano in a number of different areas, despite the fact that some people considered the Spanish international to be a successor for Mariano in the team.
There is a possibility that Real Madrid may permanently sign Joselu.
Therefore, according to AS, Real Madrid is reportedly giving serious consideration to the potential of permanently signing Joselu by making use of their buy option for the center striker.
This comes after the veteran striker scored a critical brace against Union Berlin last night, which assisted Los Blancos in achieving a comeback win of 3-2 in their last group game of the UEFA Champions League. Union Berlin was the opponent.
Including his two assists, Joselu has now scored eight goals in 21 matches this season, bringing his total for the season to eight goals. He has also registered two assists.
When it comes to his job and performance, it is widely believed that Real Madrid is really pleased with what Joselu is producing.
Although it has been claimed in recent months that the club intends to recruit a Galactico this summer (Kylian Mbappe or Erling Haaland), there will still be a need for a “second striker,” and Joselu is a player who fits the criteria.
As a result, the concept of signing him on a permanent basis is now being given considerable consideration. This is possible for Real Madrid as a result of a purchase option, which is estimated to be worth around €1.5 million and is not have to be exercised.
The joy and pride that Joselu feels at Real Madrid
Ever since he returned to Real Madrid from Espanyol in the summer of 2017, Joselu has given his very best effort each and every time he has on the field.
After the match against Union Berlin, he gave an interview in which he discussed what it means to be a member of Los Blancos, saying the following:
When I put on this clothing, I feel both pride and joy in my appearance. Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve had this dream. At the end of the day, I strive to make as much of a contribution as I can whenever I put on this jersey, and games like the one we played today are exactly what you dream of every day.
