Manchester United have been linked with a move for veteran Spanish striker Joselu, who wants a permanent move to Real Madrid.
Joselu has 14 goals in all competitions this season, and Manchester United are hoping to bring him in as per Football Espana. However, the veteran striker is keen on staying at Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid have an option to sign permanently at the end of the season, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to exercise that clause.
The Spanish international has been a useful player for Real Madrid, and it remains to be seen whether the player can be convinced about a move to the Premier League. It is no secret that Manchester United need attacking reinforcements, and Joselu has emerged as a viable target.
The veteran striker has the quality and the experience to thrive when the Premier League, and he could make an immediate impact at Old Trafford if the transfer goes through. He is on loan at Real Madrid and will return to his parent club Espanyol upon the expiry of his loan deal. Manchester United will feel that he could be a useful acquisition for them for a reasonable price.
The Red Devils signed Rasmus Hojlund last summer, and the Denmark international has done quite well. However, he needs more support in the attacking department, and signing and experienced striker could prove to be a wise decision. It remains to be seen whether Manchester United can get the deal done.
Manchester United need an experienced striker like Joselu
Joselu will not only share the goal scoring burden with Hojlund. His experience would make him a great mentor for the Denmark international as well. So, it is hardly surprising that Manchester United have contacted the player’s entourage over a possible move in the summer transfer window.
Manchester United currently have Hojlund and Marcus Rashford as their only reliable goalscorers. Rashford has not been at his best this season. So, investing in a quality striker should be a top priority for Manchester United.
Joselu has proven himself in La Liga and he is certainly good enough for the Premier League as well. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops over the next few weeks. Manchester United will probably have to come forward with the proposal to convince the player. However, he prefers a permanent move to Real Madrid.
