Dani Ceballos could be on his way to the Premier League with Liverpool as La Liga giants Real Madrid hope to sell.
It seems a long time since Dani Ceballos was starring for Spain at the U21 European Championship last summer.
The Real Betis playmaker dazzled and dribbled his way through the tournament in Poland and ended it with a move to Madrid in the bag. But since making that move to the Bernabau for £14.5 million, and inking a six-year contract, Ceballos has become one of La Liga’s forgotten men.
He has made just nine league appearances for Zinedine Zidane’s men, just two of those coming from the start, and it now appears that he could be on his way out of Madrid as early as this summer.
Liverpool have been linked for a number of months now and Don Balon have now claimed that Real president Florentino Perez is hopeful of cashing in on the gifted 21-year-old.
It is understood that the Premier League is Ceballos’ most likely destination and Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp believes he is the ideal player to replace Philippe Coutinho as the creative hub of The Reds’ midfield.
And Perez is hoping Liverpool firm up their interest with Real willing to let Ceballos leave for Anfield.
Just to make this potential deal a little easier to smooth through, El Chiringuito claimed in February that Ceballos told Madrid’s chiefs that he wants to join Liverpool this summer.
