Speculations continue to swirl around Real Madrid’s pursuit of Borussia Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham this summer, and if the rumors hold true, Los Blancos will secure a major coup. The 19-year-old midfielder is already recognized as one of the world’s best and has the potential to become a cornerstone of the team for the next 15 years.
However, acquiring Bellingham won’t come cheap. Recent reports suggest that Real Madrid may need to pay an initial transfer fee of approximately €100 million, with an additional €50 million in add-ons.
Such a significant financial commitment could have implications for Real Madrid’s overall transfer budget this summer. With multiple positions across the pitch needing reinforcement, the club will need to exercise prudence. Interestingly, they seem to be on the verge of securing a loan deal for a prolific striker in fine form.
According to MARCA, Real Madrid is nearing the loan signing of Joselu for the upcoming season. The striker is set to join on loan due to a clause in his contract triggered by Espanyol’s relegation from La Liga.
Joselu has been in exceptional form recently, as evidenced by his impressive stats from Transfermarkt, boasting 17 goals and 4 assists in 38 appearances this season. Despite his contributions, Espanyol couldn’t avoid relegation. Now, at the age of 33, Joselu appears ready to make a return to Real Madrid, more than a decade after departing the club.
While the loan deal for Joselu is not yet finalized, bringing him in could prove to be a shrewd short-term solution to Real Madrid’s striking needs. Moreover, it’s worth noting that star talents like Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe may become available in the summer of 2024, providing potential long-term options for the club’s attack.
