Real Madrid striker Joselu is on the verge of transferring to Qatari club Al Gharafa, with the deal nearing its final stages. Despite Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti’s desire to retain the 33-year-old forward, Joselu is poised to embark on a new chapter in Qatar.

Transfer Details

According to Fabrizio Romano, the agreement with Al Gharafa is almost complete, with only minor details left to finalise. The move marks a significant change for Joselu, who has had a varied career across several European clubs.

Career Background

Joselu, known for his physical presence and aerial ability, has previously played for clubs including Newcastle United, Stoke City, and Deportivo Alavés before his stint at Real Madrid. His experience and goal-scoring prowess have made him a valuable asset in various leagues.

Manager’s Perspective

Carlo Ancelotti, the current manager of Real Madrid, had expressed a desire to keep Joselu at the club. Ancelotti, who has been vocal about his plans and endorsements for other players, such as Arda Güler and Vini Jr, now faces the task of adjusting his squad following Joselu’s departure.

The transfer is expected to be officially announced soon, marking the end of Joselu’s time at Real Madrid and the beginning of his career in the Qatari league.
