True about the many competitions Madrid has but if we have to count how many games Joselu will start or play it won't be an impressive number starting from next season and him joining as a supporting striker it seems like he's not even included in the main squad, he should be playing with the Madrid B team if is so. But still on still Madrid isn't a club to be in while you have Mbappe joining as a striker, that's if you're playing same position, you'll find it hard to even make the sub list.
After Real Madrid succeeded in bringing in Mbappe for free from PSG, this will further increase competition on the front lines, he is certain to immediately get a guarantee to fill the main squad. Joselu will be the second option for Real Madrid, he will spend more time on the bench next season. Real Madrid which has a busy schedule, provides a breath of fresh air for Joselu, Ancelotti will rotate in several matches which will give Joselu a playing slot.
Joselu was the hero of Real Madrid victory several times, he managed to change the outcome of the match after playing as a substitute. He is an experienced player, but his age makes it difficult for him to compete with younger players.
If I'm Joselu or I'm to advise him, I will tell him to look for another club this summer. A player like him shouldn't be considered as a second choice. He has the quality to be the main striker in any other club. Just as you have stated above, he has saved real Madrid several times and it was remarkable what he did against Bayern Munich in the semi finals yet he wasn't considered for a starting place in the finals. With the arrival of Mbappe things will get worse for him as he will fall further behind the picking order of Carlos Ancelotti. So if he wants a regular playing time next season he should seek it elsewhere as it's clear enough that his has lost his place in the Madrid squad, unless he want to only be featuring in the Copa del Ray or being brought into play in the 85th minutes and 90 plus. He has got the quality to establish himself elsewhere, so it's left for him to make his choice.

Ancelotti did not give him a chance to start even after his goals in the semi-final against Bayern, so it can be said that Ancelotti is not changing his working strategy and there will always be a place for Joselu on the bench. Moreover, with the arrival of Mbappe, this situation will worsen, I doubt that Mbappe or Rodrigo will be on the bench. But apparently Joselu is happy with this, he goes on the field for twenty minutes, scores several goals, but he plays in Real Madrid, everyone makes their own choice.

Joselu was needed when other forward players had difficulty scoring goals and in the against Bayern Munich or against Dortmund he was included to make a difference up front.
Ancelotti understands when Joselu needs to be played and I think his strategy is always successful when placing players, that's why I see Ancelotti as having the best ability when looking at the potential results of his players' games.

Mbappe will definitely be a core player for Real Madrid and I am also sure that when needed Joselu will still be played.
There are many options that Ancelotti can make for the front line positions and that should be good for them.
The combination of several players will make it easier for Ancelotti to rotate if needed so that Real Madrid's strength will still look strong.

Good thing you saw it the way I'm seeing it, to me that's disrespectful and I can't say he should be too comfortable with his (Joselu) situation at Madrid, I don't to see him as pawn in that squad but that's how it looks like. Let's say he's there for the achievement because no club stands a chance of getting all Madrid have gotten and will get in the nearest future. I'm even scared of Rodrygo getting less time of play since Mbappe is now part of the team, Ancelotti's plan might change and it will affect Rodrygo too, but let's see what will happen next season.
Rodrygo's position is very insecure at Real Madrid and for the future of his career it is not good so now there are rumors that he will leave Real Madrid but apart from that Joselu is also quite an important player for Real Madrid even though Mbappe comes but Ancelotti also has to think about it about replacements when something happens to the main players and the decision to give Joselu a new contract I think is very correct.

Yeah, Joselu should've know he will rarely play, this season Real Madrid also benched him for many times, so if Joselu isn't happy with that, he can reject the offer.

But, I really doubt Joselu will reject the offer because he's become a professional football player since 2009, but he only get trophies when he play for Spain and Real Madrid. This must be his biggest achievement after playing football for at least 15 years, he has no chance to win any trophy if he play for mediocre team.

Let's forget about his age, Joselu is a good player but you guys forget something about how Ancelotti has been rotating his players. Since before now when Madrid hasn't gotten Mbappe let's say since the beginning of last campaign, has the coach been showing any sign of giving this guy Joselu a better opportunity? He always sit on the bench or sometimes he plays Joselu around 80-85mins just for him to kill the time, sometimes Ancelotti doesn't even play the guy so what's the assurance that he'll have a playing time (base on swapping the playing) now that they have Mbappe? To me Joselu is just there and there's no special reason for him to be there, if Ancelotti wants to do any sub he can even bring in a defender or a midfielder instead of Joselu.

Joselu rarely found his place in Real Madrid's starting XI, but Real Madrid never wanted to lose this player from their club. The big reason behind this is that if any player in their original XI is injured, then Real Madrid will close their eyes and give this player a chance in his place. Joselu may stay at Real Madrid for one more season for sure, but there is another thing here that he will not get a place in the regular eleven next season, he can be seen on the field as a changed player. With Mbappe joining Real Madrid, there is no doubt he will play regularly, so Joselu may have to spend next season on the bench.
His quality is not qualified to be a starting player in the Real Madrid squad because he is not a world-class player, he is just there in the team to come in as a super sub whenever they are in need of goal or when any of their wingers get injured. I am expecting him to leave Madrid this time because Mbappe just joined them and Ancelotti will definitely use both Rodrygo, Vinicius, and Mbappe in the front line, he(Joselo) will not have enough playing time in the team
When other transfer windows open we see several teams let go of players as well as buy new players but this season we don't see much movement in the transfer market. Mbappe's move to Real Madrid this season is perhaps the biggest news of the transfer market so far. And in a few days the transfer window will be upper off close and after the transfer window is closed no team can release any player or bring any player to their team even if they want to. We will know the decision on the matter under discussion only when the club says something about it. With the kind of players that Real Madrid has, it is quite normal for this player to move to another club.

There is no doubt that Mbappe will immediately become the main player there and will fill the spearhead position on Real Madrid's front line. Because Mbappe was brought in to be a goal scoring machine there. And in fact, until last season, Real Madrid didn't seem to have found a suitable replacement for Benzema's position there. And now after Mbappe I feel that Real Madrid have finally succeeded in bringing in a football star who can be on par with Benzema in that position. That doesn't mean I underestimate the other players. but I just feel that this season is the season where the Real Madrid squad returns to full strength after Benzema left. Joselu is still an important player who Real Madrid really needs even though he will only be a second tier player. But with Joselu we will always see Real Madrid remaining strong even during a busy match schedule. And Joselu would be much needed at such a time. Because by having great players in the second tier, the team will not worry about the busy match schedule that awaits. Ancelotti also definitely finds it easier to rotate players with many options he can choose from.

Joao Cancelo is defender who is owned by Barcelona on loan from Manchester City to finish his contract for one season and it is certain that next season Joao Cancelo will return to Manchester City if there is no loan extension or permanent purchase.
But it seems that there is no clarity on the agreement because until now Barcelona has not confirmed the extension or purchase option, Pep himself will agree to the sale of Joao Cancelo if he can make profit.
Obviously this is difficult condition for Barcelona considering that they are in very unfavorable condition financially, financial problems are still ongoing and Barcelona is still in the process of improving.
But looking at how he performed over the past season, it can be seen that Joao Cancelo has become an important player in Barcelona main squad and his departure might be detrimental to Barcelona performance.

But there Joao Cancelo did not get chance in the title race and in fact Joao Cancelo chances of getting the title would be wide open if he played with Manchester City.

In this situation, I just think that the best Barcelona can do is to just extend the loan by another year, because financial they actually can't afford buying in on a permanent basis, unless it's a free transfer, and I don't think Manchester city will want to let him go on a free when he is still having a contract with them, considering the quality of Joao cancelo, especially when at his best, though I believe that hamsick flick might have watched most of the past games of Barcelona, and he will definitely knows how important Joao cancelo is to this Barcelona team, so he is going to put pressure on the board to retain the services of Joao cancelo.

Though anything can still happen, he might still return back to Manchester city if Barcelona doesn't retain his services either through loan or his permanent departure, but I know that if he returns back to Manchester city, he would be playing from the bench as he was playing before he left the club, but I believe that Manchester city just want to cash in on him, because he is way more inferior to Kyle walker right now.
I agree that you are right, but that matter will only occur if there is loan extension, Barcelona will not be able to buy Joao Cancelo permanently and if there is request for an extension then it all comes down to Manchester City whether they will agree to it or vice versa.
What is clear is that if Joao Cancelo returns with Manchester City it will also really help them in fighting for title that can be defended next season because several times Manchester City back line has also experienced problems such as player crises when main players are absent.
What is clear is that I don't find any certainty regarding Joao Cancelo future status at Barcelona, ​​he has spent fairly satisfactory season until this summer, maybe it won't be long before the two team will enter into an agreement or discussion regarding Joao Cancelo.

Yes, but I also little confused about what Pep will do for Joao Cancelo if Barcelona doesn't extend his contract or buy him permanently, if indeed he returns to the Manchester City squad and just sits on the bench that not problem either.
There will be the right time to take advantage of Joao Cancelo performance to enter the main squad, I sure Pep will be able to take every step that is best for his players and Manchester City.

Joselu is a very important player and I think the steps taken by the Real Madrid team are very correct, the team not only needs starter players but also has to think about team balance to maintain team performance even though there is player rotation that occurs.

Mbappe was recruited as a starter and as a substitute for Joselu, I think Joselu is very good, despite his age, he is no longer young, but whether he is filling in or not playing regularly, I think Joselu's physique is still quite good and this is also happening this season, Joselu He didn't get many playing minutes but he was able to make a contribution to the team.

Despite his age I still think Real Madrid should have given him more playing time even before now, in the Champions League he gave them the opportunity of getting to the final but he wasn't a first team player and now we have Mbappe joining the team is still going to be hard for Joseluto fit in, no space for him in the Madrid team. I think Joselu should leave the team with the injury of Mbappe things are still not going to change is best he leaves than becoming a bench warmer, signing a new contract is a bad move, such talent shouldn't be kept on the bench to waste, for Madrid to sign him I believe he's going to be as a reserve player.
If Joselu leaves Real Madrid and joins another club, there is no guarantee that he will get a chance to play regularly for that club. It may also be important for him to get some time off the bench for Real Madrid instead of sitting on the bench for another weaker team. As the prime time of his career has passed he may not worry about his career now and will stay at Real Madrid as long as Real Madrid try to keep him. It is different for all the other players as all the other players played in Real Madrid's regular XI which resulted in Real Madrid selling them when they were relatively old so that they could employ a younger player in that place.   

Joselu is not going to any other team in this transfer window.

his performance last season which was quite impressive as a super sub player and the option to rotate players when the schedule is busy then of course this is a good situation for Madrid and also for Joselu because even though several other clubs want Joselu, it seems that Joselu would prefer to stay at the Bernabeu rather than looking for other club options because of his love for Madrid.
I do believe that's the smartest decision for Madrid. Trying to look for a backup striker that you can rely on is quite difficult nowadays, not to mention the options are limited. Based on what I've read the market for strikers is quite limited, so it would be a gamble to find one who is younger or around Mbappe's age. If you already have someone who proves that he can score goals in decisive moments why would you need to gamble again? Having too many players who compete in a position is not always bad, especially if one of them is quite cheap. CMIIW.

A little out of the topic seems to be many people who are eager to return to comparing Cristiaon and Messi back now. Come on, buddy, don't be silly, they are great and they are Goat, they don't need to debate to determine who is the best because they have their strengths and weaknesses so they don't need to compare each other because the achievements of these two players are no doubt.

I think these two guys are always going to be compared. When Messi was failing with his international team, the whole anti-Messi world ridiculed him for it, so now that he has achieved it all, most people just want to say "they're both goats and should always be respected. Well, I agree that they're both goats and they should both be respected, but we I must say that one is better and greater than the other and we all know who is. I usually don't involve myself in that arguement because any body with a brain and watched them both can tell who's better
Indeed, comparisons like this are quite necessary for a player, especially for the rivalry between Messi and Ronaldo, but on the other hand, we also have to know that in the end, arguing by making fun of each other is ridiculous and childish because looking at what is happening now, especially for Some immature fans can actually see ridiculous debates that just don't want to give in to each other.

In fact, if we look at the current situation, they don't need to be debated anymore because these two people are goats and right now there is still no one who can match these two players even until they retire in terms of the achievements they have gotten so there is no need to feel that one of these people is the greatest (for Cristiano fans + Messi fans) because they have their own advantages and disadvantages but that doesn't make it bad for both of them.

Thirdly, Real madrid has determined joselu's future, madrid is in process to sign him as a permanent transfer.
I'm surprised to see Real Madrid want to permanently sign Joselu when he's already 34 years old and Real Madrid already sign Mbappe. I don't see there's a chance Joselu will become starter, he might only play for few minutes or stay in bench for long, waiting either one of Real Madrid's striker injured.

This is a good news since Real Madrid realize if Joselu gave some contribution and make they won Champions League, instead of kick him out after they got trophy.
Being made permanent by Madrid is a hope for Joselu because he still wants to stay from the start when Madrid allows it.

Now when there is a situation where there is news that Madrid wants to bring him in permanently then it is indeed a form of pleasure for Joselu in the end.

He will not be in the line up because he is definitely aware of the situation where with Joselu's age and popularity which is still below other players then he will not be in the line up at Madrid but with his performance last season which was quite impressive as a super sub player and the option to rotate players when the schedule is busy then of course this is a good situation for Madrid and also for Joselu because even though several other clubs want Joselu, it seems that Joselu would prefer to stay at the Bernabeu rather than looking for other club options because of his love for Madrid.

Obviously, it will be quite better for him to leave Madrid and join another suitable club, because with the presence of these trios, Neymar, Vinicius and Rodrigo in the front line of the Madrid team , he will definitely get overshadowed by the performance of these three incredible players and would hard see match to play, However it is an individual choice to make as well Real Madrid decision to keep in the club.
Yes, actually, that could be a second option for him if he wants to join another club, then he will get more playing minutes than at Real Madrid. He only plays when Real Madrid needs him when he finds a deadlock, especially with Mbappe, Vinicius Jr. , Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham will definitely feel unused by the coach because these players will definitely be Real Madrid's main squad in crucial matches, but there is nothing wrong if Real Madrid wants to make this player permanent at least to play as a second line striker so they can protect the risk injury to a major player if he plays a lot of matches.

This is a difficult decision for Real Madrid. On the one hand, Real Madrid doesn't really need a player like Juselu because they already have a fairly capable composition of players and Juselu actually doesn't meet the standards, but Real Madrid's success in winning the Champions League title this season is also due to Juselu's skill in creating opportunities in the semifinals meant that he managed to bring the Whites to the final and actually Real Madrid didn't want to be seen as a club that doesn't know itself because after tasting the sweetness of the title, it threw away player who had contributed, but on the one hand, it must have just sat there on the bench because the coach might not use him much so it would be quite a waste if Madrid bought this player if he wasn't used.

Actually, in my opinion, pairing Mbappe and Haaland in one team will not be effective, maybe you have seen that with Messi, Nyemar and Mbappe as an illustration that PSG cannot be successful in European competitions. There will be a lot of ego created if 2 players like Mbappe and Haaland join. This is not what Ancelotti wants, Real Madrid stability needs to be maintained, not all great players need to be in Madrid if it ends up destroying the existing balance. Just having Mbappe is enough to complement Real Madrid's front line, and let Haaland remain opposite Mbappe. Because in this modern era of football there is competition for the best candidates in each team. Man City and Real Madrid, keep in mind that if Mbappe and Haaland had to share a place, would that be acceptable to them? The status of a striker is to have his own place as a core player. And I'm sure Mbappe or Haaland are not willing to share playing time.

Come on Mbappe that's enough, there's no need for everyone to be in Madrid, there are still lots of other teams in Europe, don't let the world of football be biased against one team. Because we need competition, not collections.
Real Madrid transfer for attacking line have been over and there are not any possibilities for signing Erling Haaland, I think impossible looking the opportunity Haaland and Mbappe will play in one team both of them have the same position will be not effective.
Recently Real Madrid have Endrick as youth player and Joselu become back up position as central forward, its have been completed for Real Madrid on attacking line position and not required yet for signing new player on that position.

Real Madrid seems waiting the last announcement from Nacho keep stay or leave in this season and looking for right replacing for center defender position, its most required signing from Real Madrid indeed at holding midfielder after Toni Kroos retired and Madrid will priority for signing players with current empty position as holding midfielder and defender than sign new central forward.

For me, i think, Manchester United is serious about rebuilding its roster for the upcoming season, and it is starting by looking for a new midfielder. Manchester United has made an initial offer to sign Fermin Lopez from Barcelona, and I believe the rumour that the club will sell Bruno Fernandez is true. Manchester United made a 24.5 million euro offer to buy Fermin Lopez from Barcelona, but Barcelona turned it down. Barcelona is still unwilling to exchange their young talents for financial benefit. Barcelona views its young players as long-term assets, therefore Manchester United will consider alternative choices for a new midfielder in the squad.

Manchester United has long wanted to sign Barcelona players, but they have always failed, barcelona always refused manchester united's offer. As a result, Manchester United must move on and seek other midfielders to join the team, and i think, there is a lot of capable midfielders to be recruited as a part of united's future roster.
Erik Ten Hag seems to want to make big changes to welcome the new season and the evidence is that several times he wants new players at a younger age, such as making an offer to Fermín López but it will only end in vain because any club has young players who have talent reliable players will usually be retained unless they make a big offer, it is possible that Fermín López could be released and on the other hand, Barcelona's financial situation is still very bad and Barca is aware of this and decided to keep the young player instead of choosing 24 million but in the long term Barca will be confused about getting young player again.

Having plans to sell Bruno Fernandes doesn't seem like a good plan because for me Bruno Fernandes is one of the important players who must be kept because his contribution is very good at Man Utd and if indeed ETH has that plan to replace him with a more talented young player, I I think it doesn't matter, the most important thing is that Bruno Fernandes' replacement must have a much more reliable performance.

Barcelona always rejects offers from Man Utd because Man Utd always targets young players who are highly prioritized by Barca, so it is only natural that Man Utd has to look for alternatives because Barcelona itself also needs contributions from these young players to regain its glory days.

It is clear that if there are injuries, Mbappe can play in at least three positions, but now his destiny is only as a central striker. He will definitely be ahead of Bellingham, Vinny or Rodrigo. Let’s say if Haaland played in Real Madrid, Mbappe could play lower, but in this lineup there are no options at all that Mbappe will not play as a central striker. By the way, I don’t quite trust the statistics (by amplua) since it don’t see the difference between the center forward and the striker underneath, but it see the difference between the striker and the winger, although the second striker can play lower than the wingers.
Mbappe's main position is a center forward (striker) but he also can play as a left winger or a right winger. Ancelotti actually can have some options to put him in the attacking line of Real Madrid. I also think he is capable to play as a second striker if it is needed someday. We know Ancelotti always has full of ideas to change the tactics, formation, and the position of the players. However, I really believe Mbappe will be important player for Real Madrid, he will be put on the best position as a machine goal. So, the striker position will be the best option for Mbappe.

I don't know if it is possible for Haaland to join Real Madrid. But he can play together with Mbappe because Mbappe can play as a right winger. Vinicius-Haaland-Mbappe will be the best combination for Real Madrid if it really happens. But I doubt Florentino Pérez wants Haaland if Mbappe can play amazing as a Real Madrid striker. In Real Madrid attacking line, they only miss a striker position, they have no problem on the other positions. Since Mbappe already joins Real Madrid, the striker position has been filled by Mbappe.

Anyway, the stats is the history of his career. Even if there is no specific stat on a specific position, but it describes a lot the ability of the player. I think it can prove how the quality of Mbappe as an attacker (whether as a striker or a winger).
Actually, in my opinion, pairing Mbappe and Haaland in one team will not be effective, maybe you have seen that with Messi, Nyemar and Mbappe as an illustration that PSG cannot be successful in European competitions. There will be a lot of ego created if 2 players like Mbappe and Haaland join.
