Real Madrid announced a while ago that veteran striker Joselu has left the club and signed for Qatari outfit Al Gharafa.

The 34-year-old veteran spent the last season on loan at the Santiago Bernabeu and enjoyed a fine campaign, compelling Carlo Ancelotti & co. to consider keeping him for another year.

However, the Spanish international decided to leave this week due to the arrivals of Kylian Mbappe and Endrick, which would make competition for places even harder for him.

Real Madrid activated the €1.5 million purchase option to sign Joselu from RCD Espanyol before selling him to Al Gharafa for the same fee today.

Joselu says goodbye

Now, taking to Instagram, Joselu has penned a heartfelt farewell message to Real Madrid as he embarks on a new journey in his career.

“Thank you. It is the best word and the most suitable to express everything I feel at this moment, in which emotion and nerves barely allow me to write,” Joselu started.

“Thank you Real Madrid for everything you have made me feel throughout my life. Inside and outside. Thank you for what you taught me as a kid; thank you for giving me so many examples of greatness and humility at the same time. Thank you for keeping my dream alive and for making it come true.”

Joselu then proceeded to thank Real Madrid president Florentino Perez, CEO Jose Angel Sanchez, manager Carlo Ancelotti, and the rest of his former teammates, writing:

“Thank you Presi, you are very great. Thank you José Ángel for so much. Thanks to each and every one of the employees of the largest and most exemplary club.

“Thank you coach for your way of understanding this game. Thank you team for being my family. Thank you fans for so much passion, so much love and that complicity that made us fly.”

Concluding, Joselu wrote that even though he might be leaving Real Madrid, but will always remain a part of the club.

“Years ago I left but I never left. I’m also leaving today but in reality, I’m staying. Thank you.”
