Joselu & David Soria: Madrid's next signing targets

The offices of the Santiago Bernabeu are well underway with preparations for next season. Already, the club have announced three signings: Jude Bellingham, Fran Garcia and Brahim Diaz, but it looks like there will be more to come.

The Spaniards have two deals in advanced stages of negotiation. They are for Joselu and David Soria. 'Marca' reports that next week will be crucial for both. Madrid are looking to get them both done and dusted in the coming days.

Joselu will come to Real Madrid free of charge. According to the latest information, the 'Merengues' will however, give Espanyol two of their academy players, with a buy-back clause for the future.

As for David Soria, the Copa del Rey champions have already met with Getafe and the player's agent Angel Torres admitted that he could leave. "You can't say no to Madrid..", he let slip.

In principle, neither Joselu nor David Soria are expected to be undisputed starters for Carlo Ancelotti's team, but they will be key reinforcements for the squad.

'Marca' believes that the first of the deals to be closed will be Joselu, as he is on the verge of signing. Madrid is waiting for him to return from the training camp with Spain to finalise the matter. 

David Soria's situation will take a little longer to be resolved, as Madrid is awaiting the decision of Lunin, the second goalkeeper. When Lunin decides to leave, then the club will make a move for the Getafe goalkeeper.
