Real Madrid are reportedly looking to sign Espanyol striker Joselu to act as a backup for Karim Benzema next season.
Los Blancos believe he can be a solid low-cost signing and add more depth to their frontline.
Joselu has impressed in La Liga this season, scoring 15 goals – the most for any Spanish player in the division.
However, Real Madrid fans have had mixed reactions to being linked to a move to Joselu as a Benzema back-up. Here’s how many reacted on Twitter.
HancokUndead: “If he's 33, what is the point? Benzema is 35, I thought our current policy is to sign younger players.”
Sam: “Thuram & firmino is a free agent this summer.”
Mary: “Instead of leaving, Carvajal brings his brother-in-law.”
Sakriya: “Bro what type of backup is 33 year old? we are not Valladolid.”
Xemi: “Not a bad choice on a 1-year contract, then Endrick comes in 2024.”
LosBlancos: “It will be actually good. Madridista in him plays for the badge good player.”
Zete: “I don’t understand the comments, he’s a good player, he knows la liga and can score goals. He’s also a big Madridista. If they want Benzema to be a starter than Joselu is a good option for back up. After next season we can sign someone big.”
