Real Madrid Midfielder Is On The Radar Of Girona: Should Ancelotti Cut Him Loose? | OneFootball

In a recent report, Fichajes revealed that Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos is on the radar of Girona. It has been stated that Michel’s side are hoping to land the Spanish midfield ace from the Madrid outfit this summer.

Ceballos has served as a good, rotational piece in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad during his La Liga campaign. The Spanish talent has participated in 27 matches for Los Blancos this season, netting one goal and grabbing two assists in all competitions.

The 27-year-old has seen most of his appearances come off the bench which explains why he is averaging 0.5 tackles, 0.4 shots and 0.6 key passes per game in La Liga. He has even been tidy when distributing possession from midfield after making 91.1% of his attempted passes in top-flight football (stats via whoscored).

His current contract at the Madrid club will run out in the summer of 2027. Hence, Carlo Ancelotti is under no immediate need to cash in on him in this upcoming transfer window.

Should Real Madrid Boss Carlo Ancelotti Cut Ceballos Loose?

Ceballos is a good tackler of the ball and is full of energy and running at the centre of the park. He can strike the ball with power and accuracy from long range and has got the vision to orchestrate a few promising chances for his teammates on the offensive end of the field.

However, the Spaniard has to find a way to ensure more first-team starts if he wants to make the most out of the remainder of his career. Thus, it makes sense for him to opt for a change of scenery this summer.

At 27, Ceballos is about to enter his prime, so it is only fair to the player if Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti cuts him loose in the upcoming transfer window. The Spaniard has played a vital role in the Madrid club‘s squad over the past few years. The time is right for Los Blancos to part ways with Ceballos. Ancelotti could even use the money generated from his potential sale to strengthen other areas of his team later this summer.
