Real Madrid are ready to sign permanently on-loan Espanyol striker Joselu.

That's according to Okdiario's chief pundit Eduardo Inda, when speaking on El Chiringuito.

"Real Madrid has decided to exercise the option to purchase Joselu, who is on-loan from Espanyol," confirmed Inda.

"It is little money, it is 1.5 million euros. And for the money that moves Madrid. He is a player who is giving the right performance and Madrid will exercise the purchase option."

Joselu has scored five goals in 11 games, with Real having coughed up €500,000 for his loan fee.
