Real Madrid Midfielder Dani Ceballos Signals Uncertain Future Amid Transfer Interest

Dani Ceballos is facing uncertainty about his future at Real Madrid as he struggles to secure regular playing time amid fierce midfield competition from players like Valverde, Tchouameni, Camavinga, Bellingham, and Güler. After being limited to brief appearances this season, Ceballos posted a cryptic "Last dance" message on social media, fueling speculation about a potential departure. Real Madrid values him between €15 and €20 million and has received offers, including a €5 million bid from Real Betis, which was rejected due to insufficient terms. Although Betis remains Ceballos's preferred destination, financial constraints and his high salary make a return unlikely, while other Champions League clubs have shown interest. Real Madrid is open to selling if a suitable offer arrives but will not engage in bidding wars or sell at a loss. Meanwhile, Ceballos aims to convince coach Xabi Alonso of his value and maintain his hopes of featuring prominently ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
