Joselu is now officially at Real Madrid

The Club Real Madrid of Spain presented to the press the Spanish striker José Luis Mato Sanmartín (nicknamed Joselu), 33 years old, whom he hired with an option to buy from relegated Espanyol.

In his speech at the promotion held at the club’s sports facilities called “Ciudad Real Madrid”, Joselu stated that “wearing the Real Madrid shield is the greatest honor for a footballer”.

Joselu, who was the 3rd player to score the most goals in LaLiga with 16 goals after Robert Lewandowski (23) and Karim Benzema (19) last season, played for Real Madrid in just one game between the 2010-2012 seasons in the first years of his career, he stressed that he is very happy to return.

“Since I left…”

“Since the day I left Real Madrid, I dreamed of coming back here,” says Joselu, adding that when the first offer came he didn’t say anything to his wife and children until he signed for the illusion, and that his wife could still not believe what happened.

The Spanish footballer said he did not agree with comments that Benzema, who left Real Madrid, would take his vacancy, saying: “I did not come to anyone’s place. I am here to reflect on my experience and what my coach wants from me. Karim is a great soccer player. I’m a different type of soccer player. I am a person who uses my physical side more and I like to score goals. “I know how to contribute to the team,” he said.

Real Madrid, which said goodbye to Karim Benzema, Marco Asensio, Mariano Díaz and Eden Hazard, who are among the important players in its squad, acted quickly with the start of the transfer season and added Fran García, Brahim Díaz and Jude Bellingham before Joselu. . (AA)
