Spanish central midfielder Dani Ceballos, who has a contract with Real Madrid until 2027, is considered one of the players who might leave the club this summer. The 29-year-old's desire is reportedly to go back to Betis, his former club, but it appears that will not happen. According to journalist and transfer market specialist Matteo Moretto, Ceballos's next destination could be Ajax. Moretto stated on Radio Marca that contacts have already occurred between the involved parties for the midfielder to move to Amsterdam.

In the 2025/2026 LaLiga season, he has made 15 appearances. The Spanish international has 13 caps and one goal for his country, and his current Transfermarkt market value is €8.00m. In addition to Betis, Aston Villa and Olympique Marseille have also been linked with the player. Recent reports from February 2026 state Real Madrid's asking price is between €10 million and €15 million.
