Although the end of the summer transfer window is less than 48 hours away, Real Madrid could still sell Dani Ceballos. Real Madrid will accept a transfer fee of 15 million euros.
Real Madrid have had a very good summer transfer window so far. Things have been quiet for Los Blancos since announcing the signings of Endrick and Kylian Mbappe, but given the magnitude of the new arrivals, they really didn’t need to spend too much on more players.
So this summer has been largely about player departures. The last thing Carlo Ancelotti wants is a bloated squad, so it was a necessary task and one that was carried out well.
As we enter the final two days of the summer transfer window, what has been said about the possible departure of Dani Ceballos?
According to a report by Mario Cortegana of The Athletic, Real Madrid are considering offers for Dani Ceballos and are willing to let him go for around 15 million euros.
Real Madrid would understandably prefer a permanent sale of Dani Ceballos to a loan with or without an option to buy.
Real Madrid will not intervene if Dani Ceballos wants to leave the club. Although the timing is frustrating, Carlo Ancelotti and Florentino Perez would prefer to only include players who want to play for the club.
It remains to be seen whether Real Madrid will replace Dani Ceballos. He is not a sure-fire starter, but the gap a sale would leave would be noticeable, especially given Eduardo Camavinga’s injury.
This season, Real Madrid was already weakened in midfield. Toni Kroos resigned from the club and the consequences of this decision were clearly felt by Real Madrid.
Real Madrid have been linked with midfielders in the summer transfer window but have so far chosen not to sign anyone. Ideally, the sale of Dani Ceballos would spur them into action in this regard.
However, only Carlo Ancelotti and Florentino Perez know their transfer strategy. Real Madrid fans will have to wait and see if anything happens in the final days of the transfer market.
