Dani Ceballos is going to try and convince Real Madrid to allow him to be at Arsenal next season, according to El Confidencial.
Ceballos has impressed at Arsenal this term, especially after the restart, and it seems that Mikel Arteta’s side could be interested in bringing him back.
There are doubts over whether Arsenal can afford to sign the Spaniard on a permanent though, and that complicates things.
Madrid are keen to sell Ceballos to raise funds for their own planned additions, but Arsenal would apparently prefer to loan him again.
Madrid, at the moment, don’t appear to be keen on such an idea – but Ceballos is planning to speak to Madrid chief Florentino Perez to express his desire to be at Arsenal next season.
If Ceballos is kept with the Gunners he could well be part of Arteta’s starting team next term.
Ceballos and Granit Xhaka have formed a strong partnership in Arsenal’s midfield recently, with the pair both impressing.
Arsenal managed to pick up a 2-0 victory over Manchester City at the weekend, and Ceballos’ and Xhaka’s combative displays were a big reason why they were able to progress to the FA Cup final.
