In the world of football, rivalries between clubs are as intense as they are exciting, and the transfer market is always a breeding ground for rumors and surprises. On this occasion, it seems that Atlético de Madrid have set their sights on a player who has hardly played a prominent role at Real Madrid: Dani Ceballos.
The Andalusian footballer, who returned to Real Madrid after his loan spell at Arsenal, struggled to secure a place in the starting XI under Carlo Ancelotti. With limited playing minutes in the Merengue team, Ceballos could be looking for a new opportunity in another team and Atlético de Madrid could be his destination.
According to Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur, the sports management would consider making a proposal to Real Madrid for Dani Ceballos. They believe the talented midfielder could be a valuable addition to strengthen their squad. His versatility and technical quality make him an attractive player for Diego Simeone and his style of play.

It should be noted that Ceballos extended his contract with Real Madrid until July 2027 during the last summer market. However, circumstances have changed since then and his lack of minutes on the pitch could open the door to a possible exit next summer.
A club willing to give him playing time and importance
Atlético de Madrid’s interest in Ceballos could be an opportunity for everyone involved. The player could find a team where he has more opportunities to showcase his talent, while Real Madrid could receive fair compensation for his transfer.
