Real Madrid Set to Secure Another Striker Alongside Mbappé and Endrick, Decision Confirmed: Official in a Few Weeks
Florentino will Trigger the Release Clause of this Forward Having a Remarkable Goal-Scoring Season
Real Madrid is determined to assemble a spectacular frontline for the upcoming season. If last summer they opted not to sign a top-class center forward, it was likely because Florentino already had Kylian Mbappé secured. Instead, Joselu arrived from Espanyol, having just been relegated to the second division.
The Galician’s season at the white club has been outstanding. He has already netted 13 goals, despite spending many minutes on the bench. Ancelotti has been using him as a substitute for Vinicius and Rodrygo when they need rest or are injured, which happened twice this season with the former, leading to him being sidelined for two months, a period during which the Silleda-born striker showed he can contribute significantly to the team.
Joselu, who has already scored 13 goals this season, will be the other ‘9’ Madrid will sign in the summer. This will lead Real Madrid to exercise, at the end of the season, the buyout clause included in the loan agreement with Espanyol, amounting to one and a half million euros.
Despite the player’s age, now 33, this amount will be justified by his innate goal-scoring ability, as he demonstrated more than a decade ago with Castilla.
Joselu will be part of the world’s best frontline, alongside Mbappé and Endrick, who will land at the Santiago Bernabéu next summer.
Vinicius, Rodrygo, Arda Güler, and Brahim will accompany the aforementioned players, making Madrid the team with the deadliest attack in world football, complemented by the goals of Bellingham, who already has 20 this season.
The success of the Merengue team next season will greatly depend on the talent of these players, who are already proving they can lead the white team to the summit.
