Ajax in talks to sign Dani Ceballos
The Dutch club is working on a deal for the Real Madrid midfielder.
Amsterdam-based Ajax have stepped up their transfer activity by targeting Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos. The Dutch club has already held productive talks with the 29-year-old Spaniard's representatives and is currently negotiating a transfer fee with the Madrid side, proposing a move worth €6 million.
Ceballos' career in Spain has been challenging since his 2017 move to the Spanish capital, despite his loan spell at Arsenal. While the player has also been linked with a return to Real Betis, Ajax currently appears to be the most likely destination for the next chapter of his career.
The situation arises as Ceballos enters the final year of his contract at Real Madrid. The club has no plans to offer an extension, making this transfer window the last opportunity to secure a fee for the midfielder. Ceballos has made 23 appearances this season, clocking 826 minutes of play.
