Former Real Madrid & PSG star Jese completes bizarre transfer as nomadic career takes fresh twist

Ligue 1

Real Madrid

<p>Jese has struggled to find a permanent home after leaving Los Blancos and had been on the club hunt again after a short spell in Brazil with Coritiba. The Spaniard had been training without a club since January but has now signed for Malaysian side Johor Darul in an attempt to return to match fitness.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Once tipped for stardom, injuries did not help Jese, who <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/id-be-an-undisputed-starter-at-madrid-were-it-not-for-injury---jese/1nnuqdqjt1eoi1glxhgs1236tz" target="_blank">struggled to assert himself as a regular starter</a> at Real Madrid behind the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale. Paris Saint-Germain took a chance on the forward in 2016 and paid €25 million (£21m/$27.5m) for his services. However, Jese was out of favour under Unai Emery in the French capital, struggling for minutes and making just 12 appearances for the club. A series of loan spells and subsequent club hopping has now led him to Malaysia.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">𝐇𝐞'𝐬 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐛𝐢𝐠 𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐛𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Johor Darul have become the 10th club of Jese's career. Despite the forward only being 31 years old, Jese has played for Real Madrid, PSG, Las Palmas (twice), <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/stoke-city-sign-psg-forward-jese-rodriguez/1jb4rzajplo6nzk1ulm68tq3s" target="_blank">Stoke City</a>, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/psg-reject-jese-seals-loan-transfer-to-betis/12rnl2zvxjlg71cl3wpb86787x" target="_blank">Real Betis</a>, Sporting CP, Ankaragucu, Sampdoria and Coritiba. Only at Madrid and Las Palmas has Jese made more than 20 competitive appearances for the club.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Jese will join Johor Darul and link up with a number of Spanish-born players already at the club. Oscar Arribas, Natxo Insa, Juan Muniz and Jordi Amat - now captain of the Indonesian national team - will welcome their compatriot to Malaysia.</p>
