Juventus ready to spend €12m to sign Real Madrid midfielder facing uncertain future | OneFootball

Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos is once again in the spotlight as rumours about his possible exit continue to grow.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the 28-year-old could be on his way out of the Santiago Bernabeu this summer, with Juventus showing interest.

Ceballos’ role under Xabi Alonso appears uncertain. Despite his talent and experience, he barely featured during the recent Club World Cup, which has fueled speculation about his future.

Across the whole tournament, he played just 70 minutes – 30 against Pachuca, 16 against Salzburg, one minute against Juventus, and 23 minutes in the quarter-final clash against Borussia Dortmund.

Juventus eye €12 million deal for Ceballos

While it is still early to say anything for sure, Ceballos does not seem to be one of Xabi Alonso’s first-choice midfielders. This has opened the door for transfer rumours, and Juventus are among the clubs keeping a close eye on the situation.

Reports from Italy suggest the Turin giants are considering a move for Ceballos, with a potential transfer fee of around €12 million being discussed.

At the same time, Real Betis, Ceballos’ boyhood club, have also been linked to a possible reunion.

Every time there’s talk of a Ceballos exit, Betis naturally come into the conversation, given his roots in Seville. However, as of now, that possibility remains just a rumour.

Ceballos still has a contract with Real Madrid until 2027, but with limited minutes and strong competition in midfield, a move could make sense for both the player and the club.

Real Madrid may look to balance the squad and free up space, while Juventus could provide Ceballos with the chance to take on a bigger role in Italy.

For now, no official offers have been made, but the coming weeks could be decisive for his future.
