He was Real Madrid hero at Champions League, but with the arrival of Mbappé and Endrick the team where Joselu would go

Real Madrid will be having lots of changes in the squad next season, which excites fans but also worries some fans. Kylian Mbappé and Endrick Felipe will be joining the squad next season, and Real Madrid's attack will become stronger. While the attack gets stronger, the more difficult it is, the more certain players will get minutes for Real Madrid next season. Joselu was crucial for certain moments in the past season, like the semifinal of the Champions League against Bayern Munich, but he is now set to leave the club this summer and will be going to play in Qatar. Fabrizio Romano reports that Joselu has left Real Madrid, and he’s been set to join Qatari side Al Gharafa since his decision was made. The deal is at the final stages with Al Gharafa, as details will be clarified soon with the striker. Carlo Ancelotti wanted to keep him for next season but the Spanish striker made his decision to leave to play more minutes next season.

Joselu played a total of 49 matches for Real Madrid this past season, which involved La Liga, the Champions League, Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup. He scored a total of 17 goals and provided three assists across all competitions. He played over 2,000 minutes for Real Madrid but most of the games he played in were coming off from the bench.

Joselu was on loan at Real Madrid from Espanyol, who was in the second division of Spain. Real Madrid only needed to pay over $1.5 million to sign Joselu on a permanent deal, which the club was open to do. If he had decided to leave Real Madrid, which he did, many expected to return to Espanyol, which was promoted back to the first division of Spain yesterday against Real Oviedo.
