Real Madrid Remain Firm on Ceballos Asking Price
Dani Ceballos is reportedly frustrated with his limited playing time at Real Madrid and is keen to leave the club before the transfer deadline. However, the Spanish giants are sticking to their €20 million asking price for the midfielder.
Despite the departure of Toni Kroos this summer, Ceballos has struggled to secure regular playing time under manager Carlo Ancelotti. His limited appearances have led to speculation about a potential move away from the Santiago Bernabeu.
According to report, this left Ceballos feeling frustrated and eager to rush out of Madrid before Friday’s transfer deadline.
Former employers Real Betis have shown an interest after losing Nabil Fekir to Al Jazira but are reluctant to meet Real Madrid’s €20m demands.
Real Madrid have made it clear to Ceballos that they are sticking to that asking price, which is expected to end the midfielder’s hopes of an exit.
Real Madrid will indeed be hoping that their senior transfer business is now over, with club officials now solely focused on sorting out the departure of Brazilian midfielder Reinier, who is expected to join Granada on loan.
