Newly promoted Marbella FC made waves in the transfer market having announced the surprise signing of José Callejón.

Now 37, the forward arrives having had a stellar career at the top level, including winning La Liga with Real Madrid in 2012, two Coppa Italia titles with Napoli and a stint with the Spanish national team.

Callejón, who contributed significantly to Granada's promotion to La Liga in the 2022-2023 season with four goals in 44 matches, saw his playing time diminish last season, starting only eight games.

His contract with the club ended on 1 July following their relegation. Now, he has signed a one-year contract with Marbella who will be playing in Primera RFEF, Spain's third tier, this upcoming season.

The Costa del Sol club announced this high-profile signing, calling it “bombshell news”.

"He's a first-class signing for a first-class team," the club said, highlighting Callejón's extensive career.

The forward is celebrated as the highest-scoring Spaniard in Italian football history with 82 goals and has almost 700 professional matches under his belt.
