The future of Dani Ceballos, Real Madrid midfielder, is heading towards leaving the Spanish club after his recent decline in performance, according to the website "Fichajes," as the player failed to capitalize on the opportunities presented to him in recent matches, causing the club's management to doubt the continuation of his role within the team.

Ceballos showed a modest level in the King's Cup match against Talavera, where his performance in midfield declined and he committed several repeated mistakes, despite recovering from a recent health issue. Losing possession and his limited impact in building attacks led the club's management to consider that he is far from the best levels he showed last season.

Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez took the player's performance as an indicator of the need to reassess his future and considered his replacement by young talents from the academy as a clear message about the team's priorities.

The difficulty of Ceballos' staying coincides with the return of Camavinga to participation, in addition to the emergence of new young players and the club's desire to strengthen the midfield with more energetic and dynamic players. Moreover, Ceballos' market value has dropped to about eight million euros, after the club paid 16 million euros to buy him from Betis in 2017, which increases the difficulty of his remaining.

The report indicated that Real Madrid will make a decisive decision during the upcoming summer transfer window, and it seems that Ceballos' departure is the most likely option, as the club seeks to build a more competitive team according to its aspirations in domestic and European competitions.
