An [[Spain national under-21 football team|under-21 international]], Callejón made his senior debut for [[Spain national football team|Spain]] in 2014.

Profiting from the fact that his team had already qualified from the [[UEFA Champions League]] [[2011–12 UEFA Champions League|group stage]] as leaders, Callejón was handed a rare start by manager [[José Mourinho]] on 22 November 2011, and responded by scoring a brace in a 6–2 home rout of [[NK Dinamo Zagreb]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=2012/matches/round=2000263/match=2007639/postmatch/report/index.html#madrid+storm+past+dinamo|title=Perfect Madrid put six past Dinamo|publisher=UEFA|last=Bryan|first=Paul|date=22 November 2011|access-date=22 November 2011}}</ref> He added another two in the last round, at [[AFC Ajax]] (3–0).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=2012/matches/round=2000263/match=2007664/postmatch/report/index.html#perfect+madrid+sink+ajax|title=Ajax shattered as Madrid complete perfect set|publisher=UEFA|last=Brookman|first=Derek|date=7 December 2011|access-date=7 December 2011}}</ref>

On 17 September 2015, Callejón scored twice in Napoli's first game of the [[UEFA Europa League]] group stage, a [[2015–16 UEFA Europa League|5–0 home rout]] of [[Club Brugge KV]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/season=2016/matches/round=2000658/match=2016930/postmatch/report/|title=Sparkly Napoli flatten Club Brugge|publisher=UEFA|date=17 September 2015|access-date=23 October 2015}}</ref> For the same competition, away to [[FC Midtjylland]] on 22 October, he volleyed a long pass from [[Kalidou Koulibaly]] to open a 4–1 victory; [[UEFA]] dubbed the latter effort an "early contender for goal of the group stage".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/season=2016/matches/round=2000658/match=2016978/postmatch/report/index.html#napoli+finesse+midtjylland|title=Sparkling Napoli finishes flatten Midtjylland|publisher=UEFA|date=22 October 2015|access-date=23 October 2015}}</ref>

==Style of play==

 

A quick, mobile and creative player, with good technical ability, Callejón was capable of both creating and scoring goals due to his powerful shot and excellent offensive movement off the ball, as demonstrated by his ability to lose his markers by make attacking runs in behind the defensive line and into the area from deeper or wider areas. He was also a good header of the ball, in spite of his average stature.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.corrieredellosport.it/calcio/calcio_mercato/2013/07/01-326885/Napoli,+ecco+Callejon%3A+il+pupillo+di+Mourinho|title=Napoli, ecco Callejon: il pupillo di Mourinho|trans-title=Napoli, this is Callejón: Mourinho's pupil|newspaper=[[Corriere dello Sport]]|last=Salvione|first=Pasquale|language=it|date=1 July 2013|access-date=20 April 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161007001036/http://www.corrieredellosport.it/calcio/calcio_mercato/2013/07/01-326885/Napoli,+ecco+Callejon%3A+il+pupillo+di+Mourinho|archive-date=7 October 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.calciomercato.com/news/iturbe-callejon-gervinho-tre-nuovi-talenti-della-serie-a-per-red-870058|title=Iturbe, Callejon, Gervinho: le tre migliori sorprese della Serie A|trans-title=Iturbe, Callejón, Gervinho: the three best surprises in Serie A|publisher=Calcio Mercato|last=Terenziani|first=Giovanni Battista|language=it|date=14 October 2013|access-date=20 April 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.gazzetta.it/calcio/fantanews/27-11-2015/napoli-strano-caso-callejon-sarri-indispensabile-inutile-fantacalcio-1301095099056.shtml|title=Napoli, lo strano caso Callejon: per Sarri indispensabile, inutile al fantacalcio|trans-title=Napoli, the curious case of Callejon: indispensable for Sarri, useless in fantasy football|newspaper=La Gazzetta dello Sport|last=Pinna|first=Roberto|language=it|date=27 November 2015|access-date=17 October 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.corriere.it/sport/calcio/serie-a/2016-2017/notizie/da-candreva-mertens-fino-ljajic-cosi-esterni-spostano-equilibri-d23d3e50-d05d-11e6-a287-5b1c5604d8ca.shtml|title=Da Candreva a Mertens fino a Ljajic Così gli esterni spostano gli equilibri|trans-title=From Candreva to Mertens all the way to Ljajic This is how wingers turn the tide|newspaper=[[Corriere della Sera]]|last=Bocci|first=Alessandro|language=it|date=1 January 2017|access-date=24 July 2017|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171017214445/http://www.corriere.it/sport/calcio/serie-a/2016-2017/notizie/da-candreva-mertens-fino-ljajic-cosi-esterni-spostano-equilibri-d23d3e50-d05d-11e6-a287-5b1c5604d8ca.shtml|archive-date=17 October 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.juventus.com/en/news/news/2014/three-key-partenopei-men-to-watch-out-for.php|title=Three key Partenopei men to watch out for|publisher=Juventus F.C|date=22 May 2015|access-date=6 January 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.football-italia.net/110472/callejon-ill-play-centre-forward|title=Callejon: 'I'll play centre-forward'|publisher=Football Italia|last=Campanale|first=Susy|date=26 September 2017|access-date=6 January 2018}}</ref>
