In a surprise turn of events, striker Joselu has secured a permanent transfer to Qatari side Al Gharafa! The deal, officially confirmed today, sees the 34-year-old Spaniard depart Real Madrid after a brief loan stint.
Real Madrid reportedly activated a buy-option from Espanyol for €1.5 million, likely as a formality to facilitate this transfer.
Joselu won’t be wearing the white of Real Madrid though, as he’s set to don the colors of Al Gharafa. He’s signed a two-year contract with the Qatari club, with the option to extend for a third year.
This move suggests Joselu is looking for a more regular starting role and potentially a new challenge outside of the intense European leagues.
Al Gharafa will be hoping his experience can bolster their attacking options and propel them towards success in the upcoming season.
