Former Deportivo Alavés striker Joselu Mato is still looking for a new team for the upcoming season. In March, he announced the end of his stint at Al-Gharafa in Qatar and returning to European football, especially to LaLiga, could be his priority now.
The 36-year-old striker has extensive experience in the category, with a past in clubs like Celta, Alavés, Deportivo, Espanyol, and Real Madrid, where he was a key player in winning a Champions League title and his performance earned him a call-up to the Spanish national team.
The Mendizorroza team, currently 14th in LaLiga with 43 points, could face Joselu Mato in the upcoming season. The possibility of a return to Mendizorroza as a visitor does not seem so far-fetched, especially after his departure from Alavés through the back door.
Everything indicates that his future will be resolved in the coming weeks. Joselu has scored a total of 28 goals and provided two assists in the last two seasons he has played in Qatar. Despite his age, he is still proving to be a valid striker who can unlock any game at any time.
