Dani Ceballos

In August 2026, after becoming a free agent, Dani Ceballos's market value was consistently reported by Transfermarkt at €7 million. Just prior to his contract termination in June 2026, reports indicated Ajax was negotiating a transfer fee between €6 million and €10 million. During the same period, Real Madrid's asking price for Real Betis was reportedly a minimum of €7-8 million. Earlier in 2026, asking prices were higher, cited at €15 million in April and between €10-20 million in other reports from the first half of the year. In August 2025, Olympique Marseille reportedly had a loan-to-buy deal agreed for €11 million plus variables, with Real Madrid's asking price at the time cited in various reports between €11 million and €20 million.

Our valuation is driven by the cluster of figures reported just prior to Dani Ceballos becoming a free agent in mid-2026. These include consistent reports of negotiations between Ajax and Real Madrid for a fee in the €6-10 million range, and a separate reported asking price for Real Betis of €7-8 million. These figures align with the player's market value as estimated by Transfermarkt at the time, establishing a credible market level despite his subsequent free agency.
