Real Madrid demands €8 million for an out-of-favor midfield player in response to AC Milan’s interest.

In order to make room for some of their best new recruits, lead by Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid may have to say goodbye to a few members of their present team in the summer.

Out-of-favor midfielder Dani Ceballos is one such player who seems set to move on at the end of the current campaign.

Despite having the option to leave Real Madrid for free, the Spanish international decided to sign a new contract last summer with the hopes of competing for a spot in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad.

But due to a combination of injury and competition for playing time, Ceballos has only appeared in 21 games this season, clocking in at 503 minutes.
As a result, Ceballos has made the decision to leave Real Madrid this summer, and it doesn’t seem like the team will stop him.

Real Madrid requested €8 million.
In actuality, Real Madrid has only asked for €8 million for Ceballos in order to assist his departure during the summer transfer window, according to Fichajes’ report.

Given that Los Blancos have previously sold several of their youth players for sums more in line with that amount, it does seem a little odd.

With three years remaining on his contract, Ceballos, who is 27 years old, is likely in his prime. However, it seems like Los Blancos are willing to let him depart in the summer for a discounted price.

Additionally, the source states that AC Milan has expressed interest in signing the Spanish midfield player. The Rossoneri have identified Ceballos as a potential target in their search for midfield reinforcements.

Nearby, Ceballos’ boyhood team, Real Betis, has also been mentioned in connection with a move, and Real Madrid’s bitter rivals Atletico Madrid have also surfaced as possible destinations.
Though exactly things play out in the upcoming weeks is still to be seen, Ceballos’ departure this summer seems inevitable.
