According to The London Evening Standard, Arsenal would be willing to pay £15 million to sign Daniel Ceballos on a permanent contract from Real Madrid in the summer of 2021.
Ceballos is in his second season on loan at Premier League club Arsenal from Spanish and European giants Madrid.
Madrid wanted £30 million as transfer fee for the Spain international midfielder last summer, and although Arsenal are unlikely to pay that now, they would be willing to cough up £15 million for the 24-year-old this summer, according to the report, which has added that the former Real Betis star is a good influence inside the dressing room.
Permanent Arsenal move?
Ceballos is still only 24, and the Spain international midfielder could well have aspirations to succeed at Madrid.
The Spaniard has done relatively well during his loan spell(s) at Arsenal so far, and for £15 million he would be a decent signing.
However, Madrid may not be willing to sell the 24-year-old or may want more than £15 million.
Ceballos made 18 starts and six substitute appearances in the Premier League last season, and has made 13 starts and eight substitute appearances in the league for the Gunners so far this campaign, according to WhoScored.
