Manchester United are reportedly considering a surprising transfer move for 34-year-old striker Joselu, who is currently on loan at Real Madrid from Espanyol. Despite struggling in the Premier League with Stoke City and Newcastle United, Joselu has impressed at Real Madrid, scoring 14 goals in 38 games for the La Liga leaders.
According to Relevo, representatives from Old Trafford have already traveled to Spain to inquire about a potential summer deal for Joselu. While he is still under contract with Espanyol until 2025, United views him as a suitable backup option for Rasmus Hojlund. However, United faces competition from several other English clubs for Joselu’s signature. The decision to pursue Joselu will also depend on the stance of their next sporting director, potentially Dan Ashworth.
Despite interest from United, Joselu’s priority is to remain at Real Madrid, where he is likely to continue in a fringe role if Los Blancos secure a deal for Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe. Joselu’s recent success marks a significant turnaround in his career, having become a regular for Spain and scoring five goals in ten games for his country. He has matched his second-best-ever total goals for a season and needs just four more to set a new career high.
Here is the highlight video of Joselu’s skills and goals.
