Manchester United Inquire About On-Loan Real Madrid Striker Joselu

Here’s the latest update on Manchester United’s pursuit of on-loan Real Madrid striker Joselu. Reports from Spain suggest that United have made an enquiry for the 34-year-old forward, who has been impressing during his loan spell at the Spanish giants.

The seasoned striker joined Real Madrid on loan from Espanyol last summer and has been in fine form, netting 14 goals in 38 appearances this season. His performances have caught the attention of Manchester United, who are in the market for attacking reinforcements at the end of the season.

Real Madrid have the option to make Joselu’s deal permanent for €1.5 million (£1.2m) this summer as part of their loan agreement with Espanyol. The Catalan club, however, are pushing for promotion back to La Liga and Joselu’s future could hinge on their success in achieving that goal.

United’s hierarchy have reportedly made an initial approach for Joselu in order to assess his situation and potential transfer fee ahead of the summer transfer window. The club’s interest in the striker stems from their inability to strengthen Erik ten Hag’s attacking options during the January window.

In a recent interview with ABC, Joselu expressed his desire to stay at Real Madrid on a permanent basis. He disclosed, ‘I hope to stay with Real Madrid on a permanent deal. There’s a contract, an option to buy, Madrid can buy me in the summer.’

The former Stoke City and Newcastle United forward clarified the circumstances surrounding his loan move, stating, ‘I had a clause that if Espanyol went down, I could go out on loan. And well, Madrid had the opportunity, they thought it was convenient to be able to trigger it.’

With various factors at play, including Espanyol’s promotion bid and Real Madrid’s decision regarding Joselu’s future, the striker’s situation remains uncertain. Manchester United, on the other hand, are monitoring the developments closely as they continue their search for a new striker.

As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Real Madrid, Espanyol, and Manchester United to see how the situation unfolds for Joselu. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing transfer saga.
