MD: Milan reignite interest in Real Madrid midfielder after lack of minutes

By Euan Burns -

AC Milan are back in the frame for Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos as the Spaniard is failing to get the minutes that he wants under Carlo Ancelotti.

As has been reported by Mundo Deportivo in Spain, Ceballos is likely to evaluate his options again in the summer given he is barely being used by the Italian coach.

He seemed likely to leave last summer but instead he decided to stay and sign a new contract, on the assumption that he could muscle his way into the team for some regular starts.

There is interest in the 27-year-old from LaLiga clubs such as Real Betis and Athletic Club, but Milan are also said to be keen on revisiting their previous interest, with changes expected in midfield.

Milan are said to have a good relationship with Real Madrid and it is likely in the Spanish club’s interest to get Ceballos off the books given he has a new contract and is not part of the manager’s plans.

Ceballos has played 14 times in LaLiga this season but only 3% of those have been from the start. His only goal of the season came in the Champions League, where he has played in three of the eight games so far.

  1. No thanks. This guy had a chance to come play for us but rejected us I think more than once. And there is a reason he’s a fringe player. He isn’t anything special. Anything from here is a decline.

    1. Dunno, maybe it depends on how advantageous the offer is, and who he will replace at Milan?

      I haven’t seen that much of him, but I assume that 50 games at Arsenal in 2 years and 13 games for the NT are not something that a fringe player usually has.

      If he rejected us, maybe it was because he was ambitious. I think we wanted to buy Ibra in 2006 and he refused us and joined Inter instead, because there was a possibility that we wouldn’t play CL that year.

      That said, from what I’ve seen I don’t think he’s what we need, seems like he has characteristics that are too close to Reijnders

      1. I agree, he’s similar to Reijnders, we need a CDM, if we wanna get a CDM on a free we should look at Guido Rodriguez

  2. Already 27 years old . Similar with adili & bennacer type. Skip. Not worth give him 4m euro nett salary. Let him warm Real madrid bench until his contract expire
