Real Madrid wants to take quick action to address problems in the attack with the potential exit of Mariano Díaz and provide a form of backup for Karim Benzema.

And now the Los Blancos are in advanced talks for Joselu. According to the report from Relevo (h/t Bernabéu Digital), the 33-year-old could join the club if negotiations go through.

The 33-year-old could return to Real Madrid, where he graduated from Castilla and played once in the league in 2011 before heading to Bundesliga club Hoffenheim.

What could facilitate the process is the relegation of RCD Espanyol to the second division after a poor season in Laliga.

Another aspect that could help Real Madrid reach a deal with the Spaniard would be the salary cut by Espanyol when the season starts next season in the second division.

Bernabéu digital report claims Real Madrid could announce the signing of the forward next week.
