Joselu has become a fan favorite at Real Madrid, so much so that the Spanish team is keen to replicate his success with a Liverpool legend.

Despite not making his mark in the Premier League with Stoke and Newcastle, he's still revered in Madrid for his pivotal goals that led to Real's 2024 Champions League triumph, particularly his last-minute double in the semifinal victory over Bayern Munich.

Joselu, a product of Madrid's youth system who now plies his trade in Qatar, was only back at the club on loan for that season.

After a season without such a player - a campaign that saw Madrid miss out on the La Liga title to Barcelona and exit the Champions League at the quarterfinal stage to Arsenal - the Spanish team is reportedly scouting for someone to fill a similar role in its squad.
