Initially linked until 2027 with Real Madrid, Dani Ceballos finally leaves Casa Blanca this summer, as announced by the Madrid club. “Real Madrid CF and Dani Ceballos have decided, by mutual agreement, to end his time with our club. Dani Ceballos has been a Real Madrid player since 2017, during one of the most successful periods in our history. During the seven seasons he spent in the first team, he played 215 matches and won 16 titles: 3 European Cups, 4 Club World Cups, 3 European Super Cups, 2 Spanish Championships, 1 Copa del Rey and 3 Spanish Super Cups. Real Madrid thanks Dani Ceballos for his commitment and hard work during his time at the club and wishes him and his family the best for this new stage of their lives. Real Madrid is and will always be his home. »
Despite everything, this will remain a vexed story between one of the most promising Spanish midfielders when he was recruited at Betis and the Merengue club, where he was never a regular starter. He spent two seasons on loan at Arsenal between 2019 and 2021, but even upon his return he remained a complementary player. Here he is free of any contract at 29 years old.
