Real Madrid Open to Selling Dani Ceballos for €15 Million
Real Madrid have reportedly decided to listen to offers for midfielder Dani Ceballos, signaling a potential departure for the 27-year-old Spaniard.
According to sources, the club is open to selling Ceballos for around €15 million but is reluctant to consider any loan offers unless they come with a mandatory purchase option.
This shift in Real Madrid’s stance comes after a summer of significant activity at the Bernabeu. The club had initially planned to keep Ceballos for another season, as evidenced by his recent contract extension.
However, with the arrival of Jude Bellingham and the continued presence of veterans like Luka Modric and Toni Kroos, Ceballos’s role in Carlo Ancelotti’s plans has come into question.
The decision to entertain offers for Ceballos could have broader implications for the squad. Earlier this summer, Real Madrid allowed academy talents Nico Paz and Mario MartÃn to leave, confident that Ceballos would remain a key part of the midfield rotation.
With both Paz and MartÃn now gone, Ceballos’s potential departure might leave the club with a shortage of midfield options, especially considering the long season ahead.
Ancelotti is reportedly understanding of Ceballos’s situation and is not pressuring the player to stay. The Italian manager has always favored a squad filled with players fully committed to the club’s ambitions.
Ceballos, who has previously spent time on loan at Arsenal, may now be looking for more regular playing time, something that could be hard to come by at Madrid this season.
As the transfer window edges closer to its conclusion, Ceballos’s future remains uncertain. While no concrete offers have been reported yet, the midfielder is likely to attract interest from clubs across Europe.
Whether Real Madrid will seek a replacement or rely on their existing depth remains to be seen, but the potential exit of Ceballos could mark a significant moment in their summer dealings.
