Real Madrid will not be exercising their purchase option on veteran striker Joselu Mato, according to a report from COPE journalist Miguel Angel Diaz.
However, with the high-profile signings of Kylian Mbappé and Endrick, Joselu reportedly understands the limited playing time he would face next season.
COPE’s report suggests Joselu could be headed to Saudi Arabia, but a return to Espanyol, who recently secured promotion back to La Liga, is also a possibility.
Joselu arrived at Real Madrid on loan at the start of the 2023/24 season.
His most impactful moments came off the bench, with two crucial goals against Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-finals preventing Real Madrid’s elimination.
