(The Post News)- Real Madrid will not have Joselu Mato next season, according to management sources, despite the club planning to execute the option to purchase Joselu.
The striker is choosing to leave the club and search for a new club shortly after the arrival of Kylian Mbappe and Endrick.
Joselu Mate arrived with a low profile and finished up winning over Real Madrid fans.
That has been the story of Joselu Mato at the ‘Merengues’. Who after the departure of Karim Benzema, favoured using the Spanish striker as a reinforcement and holding up for Mbappe instead of making a huge cost.
But everything appears to show that the story is about to end.
The loaned striker will not be playing for ‘Los Blancos’ following season.
The player was as of now a rotational player with Vinicius and Rodrygo as strikers, he presently gets it that with the arrival of Kylian Mbappe and the youthful Endrick, he will have indeed fewer chances and be a seat hotter, the ‘COPE’ channel reported on Monday.
Joselu, wearing shirt number 14, arrived on loan last summer after his team, Espanyol, was relegated to the second division.
The agreement with Real Madrid had a choice to purchase him for one and a half million euros. Which the club were willing to pay.
The player’s performance has been exceptional, he has scored 17 goals within the played in 49 games. A few of them were key goals just like the brace that took Carlo Ancelotti’s team to the Champions League final, and thanks to this he was called into Spain’s squad for the European Championship.
Despite success, the player is planning to leave the La Liga League. At the moment, his contract with RCD Espanyol is valid till June 30 2025 and the ‘Pericos’ have accomplished promotion to La Liga.
Even though everything points to the reality that his future isn’t centred on the Catalan side, most media publications link him with a Saudi Arabian club as his favourite choice. He is allegedly in talks with the Saudi Arabian club.
