One by one Real Madrid players left this summer after Nacho previously joined Al-Qadsiah, now it is Joselu's turn to follow him to the Saudi league. Joselu will not stay at Real Madrid even though management is willing to redeem his 1.5 million clause from Espanyol and it seems he feels happy after winning various titles with Real Madrid in one season.

On the other hand, I think it was the right decision from Joselu because his place at Real Madrid has been shifted by the arrival of several talented young players such as Mbappe and Endrick so if he stays he won't get the chance to play. So his decision to go to the Saudi league and earn more money was absolutely right. However, it is not yet clear which team will get the contract later.

So, which team will get Joselu? In my opinion, it might be Al-Ittihad considering that Benzema has been unreliable so far.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Joselu will join the Qatar League, not the Saudi Pro League, more precisely with Al Gharafa. We all realize that Joselu departure is very reasonable, because his opportunities to play in Real Madrid main squad next season will be drastically reduced after Mbappe arrival. Self-aware of this situation, I think Joselu has taken the right step in leaving Santiago Bernabeu. His contribution last season will always be remembered, if not exaggeratedly, Joselu was Real Madrid most successful loan ever. Joining Al Gharafa is also very profitable financially, Joselu will get high wages like European players who join the Saudi League. Joselu was lucky enough in his short period with Real Madrid, he managed to win three trophies in one season.

That's right friends, I was quite surprised after I posted this and tried surfing social media to find the fact that Joselu chose the Qatar club as his new stop and I think that was also the right decision. It seems he wants to avoid popularity in the Saudi league and try somewhere else which will certainly be no less enjoyable at the end of his football playing days.

On the other hand, it seems that only Nacho has joined one of the Saudi League clubs, namely Al-Qadsiah, and this was confirmed more clearly a few days ago by Fabrizio Romano. Nacho will get a two-year contract and it looks like the distribution of European players will start to even out in the Saudi league. However, I am sure this is not over yet and several other Saudi league teams will try to hunt for other European players to increase the depth of their squad next season.
