After stopping his transfer to Marseille, Serie A clubs, including Fiorentina, were reportedly interested in Spanish midfielder Dani Ceballos. However, the 29-year-old decided against considering any offers, opting to remain at Real Madrid. Before the match against Mallorca, Ceballos reportedly conveyed his desire to stay with the club during a conversation with Xabi Alonso. Xabi Alonso later confirmed this decision in a press conference, mentioning that he had spoken with Ceballos and the matter was resolved, with the player staying at the club. Despite ongoing interest from Fiorentina and a Premier League club, Ceballos remained steadfast in his decision, aiming to secure his position and demonstrate his value at Real Madrid. He has participated in the team's first three league matches of the season. Ceballos's current contract is valid until June 2027, and his market value is estimated at €10 million by Transfermarkt.
