Real Madrid Announce Joselu's Departure to Qatar!
Real Madrid has announced the sale of Joselu to Qatari club Al-Gharafa. The Spaniard, who was on loan from Espanyol for the 2023/24 season, played a key role in helping Madrid secure both the La Liga and Champions League titles. The player has reportedly been sold for €1.5 million.
Initially, there were reports suggesting Madrid intended to keep Joselu by activating the purchase option in their loan agreement. However, the club has now confirmed his transfer to Al-Gharafa. In a statement, Real Madrid said, "After exercising the option to acquire Joselu Mato from RCD Espanyol, we have reached an agreement with Al-Gharafa SC for his transfer."
Joselu was part of Real Madrid's academy in 2011/12 and made a few appearances for the senior team before having stints with Hoffenheim, Frankfurt, Hannover, Stoke, Deportivo, Newcastle, Alaves, and finally Espanyol. Joselu's one-year loan stint with Madrid yielded 18 goals in 43 appearances, mostly as a substitute.
Will the journeyman find success in Qatar in the last few years of his career? Let me know your thoughts.
