Real Madrid have confirmed the signing of striker Joselu from Espanyol on a season-long loan with the option to buy the player on a permanent deal next summer.

One would be rubbing their eyes if they ever caught a glimpse of Joeslu's wife, Melanie Canizares, and Dani Carjaval's spouse, Daphne Canizares, together. However, several reports have revealed the wives of the Spain internationals are, in fact, twin sisters.

Joselu tied the knot with Melanie Canizares, a flight attendant and model, in 2016. The couple have two children, Leo and Lucas.

Speaking about his relationship with Carvajal and returning to Real Madrid in a recent press conference, Joselu said (via Sportsmanor):

"Carvajal hasn’t said too much about it, but you can imagine how excited his wife and my wife are about it. We shared a dressing room 11 or 12 years ago and we had a good relationship then and, obviously, an even closer one now. I hope I can celebrate many successes with him."

Los Blancos have completed the Spanish striker's signing on loan amid rumours of Kylian Mbappe's impending arrival. During his stay at Espanyol, Joselu made 38 appearances, scoring 17 goals and providing four assists in all competitions.

Midfielder Jude Bellingham recently completed his move from Borussia Dortmund to Real Madrid. Los Blancos secured the services of the England international for £88.5 million plus add-ons on a six-year deal.

The 20-year-old spent three years in Germany, during which he made 132 appearances for Dortmund, scoring 24 goals and providing 25 assists across all competitions.

Bellingham revealed his intentions following his big-money move. He said (via The Guardian):

"When you ask me what my biggest ambitions are in the game, it’s to win everything. And I’m not afraid to say that. Everyone should have that goal I feel like as professional footballers."

Bellingham was voted the best player in the Bundesliga last season. He won the DFB-Pokal with Dortmund in 2021.
