The next few weeks are going to be very important for Real Madrid as they work to consolidate their roster for the next season.
In spite of the fact that the club began the season with a victory against Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup, there are still issues that the club has to solve in order to successfully defend their crowns in both the Champions League and La Liga.
The squad suffers from a severe lack of depth, which is one of the primary areas of concern. It is possible that this is the reason why Real Madrid is really interested in retaining its current players.
On the way out, Dani Ceballos shuts the door.
It is possible that Dani Ceballos will be one of the players who benefits from Real Madrid’s lack of depth. It was previously speculated that the Spanish midfielder would leave Santiago Bernabeu, but it seems that he may end up remaining with the club.
In point of fact, according to AS, Ceballos has ruled out the idea of a transfer away from the Bernabeu over the summer.

It is also said in the article that Ceballos has been presented with various propositions from teams located all around Europe. However, the player has not even given any of these offers a second thought since he is adamant on staying with Real Madrid rather than leaving.
Despite the fact that Ceballos is not too hopeful about his inclusion in Carlo Ancelotti’s plans for the season, this comes about as a result of his participation.
Real Madrid has a stacked midfield unit, which includes players such as Federico Valverde, Jude Bellingham, Luka Modric, Aurelien Tchouameni, and Eduardo Camavinga. This is despite the fact that Toni Kroos has retired from the team.
Where does the emotion originate from?
Initially, Ceballos intended to leave Real Madrid this summer, according to the article, which provides this information. Nevertheless, a series of recent occurrences had compelled him to reconsider his decision.
All of this began with Kroos’s decision to retire, which was then followed by Real Madrid’s inability to come up with inventive solutions during their match versus Atalanta.
In the absence of players such as Ceballos and Modric, it is very evident that Los Blancos do not possess the amount of inventiveness that they need in the middle of the field.
In addition, Ancelotti had a personal meeting with Ceballos before to the Christmas season, during which he officially stated that Ceballos is a part of the Italian’s plans for the next season.
It is possible that this is the reason why Ceballos has made the decision to continue playing for Real Madrid for another season and to compete for a spot on the squad. The existing agreement that he has with the Bernabeu will come to an end in the summer of 2027.
