José Manuel Jurado Marín (born 29 June 1986 in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Cádiz) is a Spanish footballer who plays for FC Schalke 04 in Germany.

Able to play as an attacking midfielder or on the left wing, he can also be placed "in the hole". He possesses good playmaking and dribbling skills and has a very effective shot off the dribble.

Jurado played for both major teams in Madrid during his career, Real and Atlético, albeit with no success for the former.

[edit] Club career

[edit] Real Madrid

A product of Real Madrid's youth system, Jurado was one of Real Madrid Castilla's most important players, alongside Javi García.

He made his debut for the main squad on 29 October 2005, in a 2–0 away win against Real Betis, and would make five first-team appearances overall, also fielding against Olympiacos F.C. in the season's UEFA Champions League.

[edit] Atlético Madrid

On 4 August 2006, Jurado moved to city rivals Atlético Madrid for a reported fee of 3 million, signing a four-year contract.[1] However, like with Álvaro Arbeloa before him, Real Madrid included a "special clause" in Jurado's contract, having the option of buying him back at the end of 2007–08 for €6 million.

After playing in 33 league games in 2006–07, mainly due to serious injuries to teammates Maxi Rodríguez and Martin Petrov, Jurado appeared sparingly in the following season, and was loaned to RCD Mallorca in July 2008. After outstanding performances during 2008–09 and finishing the season as the Balearic Islands side's second top scorer, he was recalled by the Colchoneros.

On 10 November 2009, Jurado put pen to paper a new contract with Atlético, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2013. He celebrated his new deal by scoring the opening goal of the 6–0 Spanish Cup success over UD Marbella, in the same evening.

During the season, Jurado – still not an undisputed starter for Atlético Madrid – was the player with more official games, with a total of 64; he also scored in double digits overall, as the side reached the finals of both the Copa del Rey and the UEFA Europa League.

Jurado started the 2010–11 season playing eight minutes in the UEFA Super Cup win against F.C. Internazionale Milano. On 30 August, he opened the scoring as Atlético defeated Sporting de Gijón 4–0 at home;[2] However, the following day, he was transferred to FC Schalke 04 in Germany for €13 million, reuniting with former Real Madrid teammate Raúl.[3]

[edit] Schalke

On 4 December 2010, Jurado scored his first goal for Schalke, helping to a 2–0 home win against FC Bayern Munich. The following match, he scored the first in a 2–1 win at S.L. Benfica – after a chest pass from Raúl – for the Champions League group stage, which earned the club the first position after the final round;[4] the roles reversed in the quarterfinals second leg 2–1 home triumph against Inter (7–3 on aggregate), as the midfielder assisted the forward in the opening goal.[5]

[edit] International career

Jurado played for Spain at under-16, under-17, under-19 and under-21 levels, and represented the nation at the FIFA U-17 World Cup and 2009 UEFA European U-21 Championship.
