A new guest has joined the battle to sign Dani Ceballos. Because Newcastle United have also shown interest in welcoming him to their ranks from January, and are ready to make a formal offer to be able to reach a fast-track agreement with Real Madrid. Taking advantage of the fact that he does not have minutes or a leadership role with Carlo Ancelotti, and will not have that in the coming months, he is all set to leave.
The Spain international cannot last much longer in his current situation and is tired of sitting on the bench. He is the last option in the centre-back rotations, as shown by the fact that he has not started any games so far, and has had to make do with a residual role. If he wants to be in the next European Championship, which is the big goal he has set for himself, he needs to leave and be important for his team.
Luis de la Fuente has full confidence in the skills of the former Betis and Arsenal player, who he coached for a long time in the Under-21s, and they have a great relationship. But he warned him that as long as he remained at the Santiago Bernabéu, it would be impossible for him to get the call-up. Fortunately, Mohammed bin Salman has appeared on the scene, and he could become salvation for the 27-year-old midfielder, who recently renewed his contract.
However, Florentino Pérez would not be opposed to the escape of Ceballos, who is absolutely indispensable at Madrid, and will consider the offers he receives in the next transfer window. The English guarantee him to be a key player, and will give him the opportunity to start a second stage in the Premier League, where he can show all his talent. Because Ancelotti completely denied him this possibility.
€20 million is the number the Magkpies are willing to offer so they can integrate Danny into their ranks, who would not look down on that idea. Especially, considering that they can continue to compete in the Champions League, if they can get past the group stage.
Aston Villa will try to prevent Ceballos from ending up in St. Louis. James Park
But in St. James Park will face strong competition with Aston Villa, who have also made signing Ceballos a priority target, at the request of Unai Emery, who he has already worked under in the past.
Good news for Madrid, as this dispute would raise Sevilla’s price.
