Moving to another team in a different league at this time is not a bad option for Joselu considering his own age, which is no longer young. And new players like Mbappe who will strengthen Real Madrid next season can still be used as future players for Real Madrid. Apart from that, Real Madrid management always has a unique way of releasing old players and also bringing in new players so that the team's strength will never decline significantly because the players released are always older than the players who are successfully brought in each new season.
I think the tactic of letting old players go and bringing in a new young quality player into the Real Madrid squad is what has been working for Real Madrid for ages to always be the Laliga and Champions League strong title contestants every given season.
Now, Joselu has let go, for Mbappe to step into the team. It will be like nothing really changed in the frontline of Real Madrid but instead, they made their frontline to be more stronger to go head-to-head with other teams for the title race. By next season, other old players will be let go from Real Madrid to bring in another young quality players. The changes of the old players to bring in young quality players is normal routine for Real Madrid every beginning of new season.
Madrid management is considered very astute when it comes to squad rejuvenation, so far they have also succeeded in keeping the player transition going well, and Los Blancos have an ideal squad with a mix of young and old players. Madrid financial strength makes their plans run smoothly in every transfer window.
The departure of Joselu and Kroos does not reduce Madrid chances, although we will miss their action next season. Madrid succeeded in bringing in Mbappe and Endrick, both of whom are talented players and are still very young. That kind of transition is what keeps Madrid stable, they managed to find suitable replacements for the players who left.
With Ancelotti as a manager full of experience, next season Madrid will certainly be favorites in every competition. Madrid journey to defend the La Liga trophy feels a little easy, while in the Champions League, I think only City has the potential to stop them.
