José María Callejón Bueno (Spanish pronunciation: [xoˈse kaʎeˈxon]; born 11 February 1987) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Italian club S.S.C. Napoli as a forward or winger.
His twin brother Juanmi is also a footballer, and both were Real Madrid graduates. He began his career with its reserve clubs, but made a name for himself at Espanyol. In 2011, he returned to his previous team and, two years later, left for Napoli.
A former under-21 international, Callejón made his senior debut for Spain in 2014.
A product of Real Madrid youth ranks, Callejón was born in Motril, Granada, Andalusia. He made his professional debut for the B-team in May 2007, and played four games in that season's Segunda División without scoring a goal.
In the 2007–08 campaign, Callejón appeared in 37 matches and netted 21 times, finishing as club top scorer but in Segunda División B.
At the end of the season, Callejón left Real Madrid (with twin brother Juanmi) and signed a four-season contract with RCD Espanyol. He made his La Liga debut on 20 September 2008 as a late substitute in a 1–1 home draw against Getafe CF.
