Only a few games have been played this season, but certain Real Madrid players’ futures are already seriously in doubt. Although Carlo Ancelotti’s team has a lot of depth, the midfield position is one area where it excels. Since his summer arrival, Jude Bellingham has already demonstrated that he is a superstar. The likes of Fede Valverde, Aurelien Tchouameni, and Eduardo Camavinga have also done well.
All-time greats like Toni Kroos and Luka Modric are currently having a difficult time cracking the starting XI on a regular basis. So, it begs the question of how much playing time Dani Ceballos will receive going forward.
Ceballos signed a contract extension with Real Madrid just a few months ago. But it’s difficult to imagine him receiving regular chances in this midfield.
Although a return to the Premier League may be in the works, there is still interest in Ceballos. Aston Villa is reportedly putting together a bid of up to €18 million to capture the Spaniard, according to XCatalunya.
Aston Villa has a player wanted by Real Madrid for €18 million.
Ceballos is currently Real Madrid’s strongest cover option. Recently, he has also struggled with fitness-related concerns.
All things considered, finding playing time has been challenging. Ceballos has made 2 appearances and played 49 minutes of football so far this season, according to Transfermarkt statistics.
It is easy to comprehend why he is being linked with a transfer away from the team just three months after agreeing to a new four-year contract as a result. Considering how well Aston Villa has performed under Unai Emery’s leadership, Ceballos—who has previous Premier League playing experience with Arsenal—might fit in well there.
