A Real family reunion! Real Madrid's new signing Joselu is right back Dani Carvajal's brother-in-law, with the two players having married twin sisters

Real Madrid's new signing Joselu will be greeted by a familiar face at the Bernabeu this summer - his brother-in-law and new team-mate Dani Carvajal.

Joselu departed Madrid in 2012 to join Hoffenheim, but 11 years later, via spells at Stoke City and Newcastle, he has returned to the Spanish capital.

The 33-year-old striker and Carvajal came through Madrid's youth teams at a similar time, and they also know each other very well off the pitch.

The pair met their respective partners while they were in the early stages of their respective Madrid careers, and it turns out they are twin sisters.
