Real Madrid out-of-favour midfielder likeliest to leave, could re-sign for former club

Carrusel Deportivo has revealed that Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos is the most likely player to leave the team this summer. In that regard, his former club, Real Betis, appear to be his probable next destination.

At 27 years old, Ceballos is inclined to depart, and Real Madrid are aware of his intentions. For now, discussions between Ceballos and Real Madrid are expected to continue to determine how the exit can be arranged this summer.

The main challenge lies in the fact that Real Madrid renewed Ceballos’ contract last summer, which included a pay raise. Because of this, they are hesitant to let him go for a low transfer fee.

A bitter-sweet moment for Real Madrid

While Ceballos’ desire to leave is understandable, given his personal aspirations, Real Madrid’s reluctance to let him go also makes sense, especially considering the recent departure of Toni Kroos.

Losing another midfielder could be a setback for the team. Furthermore, if Jude Bellingham is required to play a deeper role, the team’s overall dynamics could be affected.

Interestingly, Carlo Ancelotti and his coaching staff had viewed Ceballos as a crucial player for the future, particularly in the period following the careers of Kroos and Luka Modric. This is because Ceballos’ playing style fits well with the team’s vision for the future.

Real Madrid will not sign a replacement

If Ceballos decides not to stay, Real Madrid have made it clear that they do not plan to sign a new midfielder, even though they have lost Kroos.

Instead, they will look to promote players from Real Madrid Castilla. For that, the names of Mario Martin and Nico Paz have been brought up.

In conclusion, Ceballos’ potential departure from Real Madrid this summer is a complex issue involving personal aspirations, contract details, and team strategy.

While his exit could create challenges for Real Madrid, the club seem prepared to look within its ranks for solutions, ensuring that the team remains competitive in the coming seasons.
