AC Milan preparing €20 million offer for Real Madrid midfielder – report | OneFootball

Changes are brewing at Real Madrid with new players being brought in following the arrival of manager Xabi Alonso.

With the Merengues splashing the cash on the signings of Dean Huijsen, Franco Mastantuono, and Alvaro Carreras, the club might need to part ways with some of the current players to balance the books.

AC Milan want Dani Ceballos

According to Fichajes, AC Milan are ready to make a move for Dani Ceballos and are preparing an offer close to €20 million to try to secure the signing of the Real Madrid midfielder.

Under the direction of new manager Massimiliano Allegri, the Italian club has turned its attention to Valdebebas in search of proven talent with medium-term potential. And Ceballos has emerged as a priority target.

The Spanish midfielder, under contract with Real Madrid until 2027, has not had a consistent role in recent seasons. However, his technical profile and experience in European competitions make him an attractive option.

At Milan, he is seen as a key piece to add balance to the midfield, offering both ball control and composure in high-pressure moments.

Although Ceballos has expressed a desire to remain at Real Madrid, the arrival of Xabi Alonso as head coach has introduced uncertainty regarding his role in the squad.

The new manager may offer the Spaniard a fresh opportunity, but he is also aware that a solid transfer fee could support the club’s planning.

For now, Real Madrid have not taken a definitive stance. They are monitoring the market and are open to listening to reasonable offers. Milan’s proposed fee of around €20 million is considered to fall within that range.

With the Rossoneri already set to sign Real Madrid captain Luka Modric, it remains to be seen if they reunite him with Ceballos as well.
