Valencia Calls Joselu

Joselu Mato, a 36-year-old forward, is on Valencia's transfer market table. Information from 90minuts places the attacker's name on the agenda of the Valencian team, which is exploring options to strengthen their forward line, although there is currently no agreement between the parties.

Joselu Mato, a free option for Valencia

Joselu remains unrestricted after his contract ended with Al-Gharafa in Qatar. The contract concluded in March 2026, so any interested club can sign him without paying a transfer fee.

The forward has just completed two seasons in Qatar with 28 goals and 2 assists, an offensive output that explains why he has kept options open in the Spanish market. During the summer, Getafe, Alavés, Deportivo, Sevilla, and Betis were linked to his future.

Joselu's situation has also changed since the early weeks of the transfer market. In July, Deportivo was said to be advancing in his return to Riazor, but subsequent reports placed the player without a team again, waiting to decide his future.

Valencia considers signing Joselu Mato

Valencia's involvement adds an option in a market where transfer costs can be crucial. Joselu is a free agent, so the deal would not require the Valencian club to pay Al-Gharafa.

Joselu's name had been linked to other Spanish teams in recent months. In June, Sevilla considered signing him as a free forward, and names like Alavés, Getafe, and Deportivo were also mentioned.

At 36 years old, Joselu also brings experience from La Liga and European competitions. His most recent spell in Spain ended at Real Madrid, where he played 49 matches, scored 18 goals, and provided 1 assist during the 2023-24 season.

A potential move to Valencia would offer Joselu another chance to return to La Liga after his time in Qatar. The player remains available, and Valencia must now assess whether to turn this interest into a concrete move before the market closes.

Joselu's situation, awaiting a decision

Currently, there is no agreement between Valencia and Joselu Mato. What's confirmed is that the forward is under consideration by the club in this final phase of the market.

The next step depends on whether Valencia decides to progress with discussions and turn their interest into a formal offer. Joselu, in the meantime, remains free and is looking to secure his future as the transfer market reaches a critical juncture.
