Real Madrid’s Champions League semi-final hero Joselu Mato is set to leave the club this summer, according to the latest in the Spanish capital. The 34-year-old has a fresh contract offer from Real Madrid for next season, but Los Blancos believe he is headed to Saudi Arabia.

Deal at final stages with Al Gharafa as details will be clarified soon with the striker.

Ancelotti wanted to keep Joselu but he’s set for new chapter in Qatar.

Madrid-based outlet Diario AS are one of many reporting that Joselu will head to Saudi Arabia for a major pay day that multiplied his earnings at Real Madrid more than once. No team has been given, and they say that Real Madrid have been told nothing from his side of things, but interpret the silence as a sign that he is on his way to the Middle East.

Carlo Ancelotti has spoken highly of Joselu, and Los Blancos will keep their offer on the table until the end of the month, when their buy option expires. Out of respect for Espanyol, they will not exercise the option and then look to make a profit on the veteran Spain international. It should allow Los Pericos to obtain a larger fee from Saudi.
