Even though his contribution at Madrid wasn't too much, at least Joselu didn't disappoint us while playing on the field. Maybe Ancelotti plan from the start was to borrow him until he actually got a main striker to replace Benzema. Moreover, the news we heard this year is that Madrid is definitely looking for the right replacement. I wouldn't expect Mbappe because 2x giving false hope made Madrid learn a lot of things. A club as elite and rich as Madrid must continue to uphold its reputation. This is the first time a young, shining player has rejected Madrid in a quite surprising way after confirming that he would go to Madrid last season. Everyone already knows and is now disappointed with his decision. But back to Madrid future, what I see at the moment is that Joselu is only a temporary player who will be returned to Espanyol.
So that why I said that there is great hope for Joselu to have contract extension and of course this is done so that Ancelotti can more easily handle the team when there is a player crisis due to injuries.
Joselu can play well of course and it can be seen that in La Liga and UCL competitions he can always be included in the main squad or you could say he always plays in every Real Madrid match.
This is clear proof that Joselu can still rely on Ancelotti.
And for Mbappe, if he can be brought in then Real Madrid will of course give him what he asks for, such as the number 9 jersey.
It just that clearer certainty hasn't been found yet and we just need to wait for next season when his contract with PSG is finalized really ended.
It is true that Ancelotti was disappointed because he had previously failed to buy Mbappe, but now at the next opportunity, Ancelotti will definitely be able to convince Mbappe that he will indeed be worthy of being with Real Madrid.
Well despite the fact that he's not really proved himself worthy of being a permanent top 9 at the Bernabeu, I think Joselu has contributed to their success over this few months of his loan stay at Madrid, maybe Ancelotti might consider signing him as a backup striker when they finally get a permanent top 9 by summer, Joselu has tried to blend into Madrid's style of play, he's scored in important matches and I thinks he deserves to keep his place as a,supporting striker for Madrid.
There's still no concrete prove that Mbappé would be joining Real Madrid, maybe they could go for other alternative cause I've come across several media's that Mbappé is still yet to decide between Liverpool and Madrid, which he would love to move to, he'll make a fine addition to whichever clubs he lands by summer, left for me I still insist that Real Madrid would be a very good decision for a world class player like mbà.
