The Spanish forward is proving at Real Madrid that he can be a very important player in the squad, despite having a secondary role.
He has scored 17 goals and provided 3 assists this season, which has attracted interest from various European clubs, as well as from Saudi Arabia, where they would be willing to offer him a lucrative contract.
According to information from Patrick Berger, a journalist at Sky Sports, Real Madrid will exercise the €1.5 million buy option for the Espanyol forward. He would sign a one-year contract with the world’s best club.
Manchester United’s interest has never made Real Madrid fear. Joselu has always prioritized staying with his lifelong team. What makes him hesitate the most is the significant financial offer that Saudi Arabia is willing to put on the table.
Staying at Real Madrid excites him a lot because he has had that goal in mind throughout his sports career. That’s why, now that he has it within reach, he doesn’t want to miss the opportunity.
However, he would have a more secondary role than he has had this season because Endrick and Vinícius are joining in the summer, and so far, no departures are planned.
🚨 Excl. Real Madrid will extend the contract with Joselu (34/🇪🇸) for another year. The Spanish side is set to pull the buy option. @JoseluMato9 – on loan from Espanyol Barcelona – playing a fantastic season for @realmadrid with 17 goals and 3 assists. ⚪️ @SkySportNews
