Madrid choose their '9', will sign Joselu after Nations League

Joselu is one of the names in Real Madrid's plans for next season. The footballer is well aware and has announced his approval publicly, saying "Playing for Madrid? Any player on the planet would like that".
Espanyol's striker is in luck. 'Marca' reports that Madrid have decided to bring him on board for next season. His signing, according to the outlet, is a done deed.
Over the last few weeks, the 'Merengues' have considered several players to lead them up front. But none of them have appealed as much as Joselu. In the Santiago Bernabeu, they consider him to be the best in terms of value for money and what he'll bring to the team.
Joselu would take the place of Mariano, who leaves the club this summer having had zero impact for the Spanish giants, and the club believe he would take on much more importance that the Dominican he's replacing.
Will there be another forward who arrives to replace Karim Benzema? The outlet claims that it will depend on how the market develops this summer, but it could be complicated, bearing in mind the club have already spent over €100 million on midfielder Jude Bellingham, and might be hesitant to spend much more.
Madrid won't close the door on the idea of another '9' but it won't be their priority. In 2024, they can already count on Endrick moving to the club. So we may have to wait a bit longer to see if the 'Merengues' decide in invest in another man up front.
