Joselu close to signing for Madrid

Joselu Mato is about to return to Real Madrid, where he played between 2010 and 2012. The Spanish giants will count on him for the 2023/24 season. 'Los Blancos' are looking for a striker to reinforce their attack next term and take the place of Karim Benzema, who has joined Saudi club Al Ittihad.

Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane was the main contender but they will finally sign the Espanyol player as his transfer is much cheaper than the Englishman. Ancelotti's side have already invested a lot of money in reinforcements for next season and for that reason they have opted to reach an agreement with Joselu Mato.

Madrid will wait for Spain to play in the Nations League final to close the deal and make it official. According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, both parties reached an agreement ten days ago and only the striker's signature is needed for the 33-year-old to play in a Madrid shirt next campaign.

Fran Garcia, Brahim Diaz and Jude Bellingham are the reinforcements the Spanish side have signed so far for the 2023/24 season, with several more likely to follow.
