A report from Defensa Central indicates that Real Madrid is interested in a player exchange that would send Dani Ceballos to Valencia for Javi Guerra. Ceballos, a 29-year-old Spanish midfielder, has a contract that extends to the summer of 2027. The potential deal is considered improbable, however, as it is not expected to be accepted by either Valencia or Ceballos himself. Valencia's owner, Peter Lim, is reportedly more inclined towards a cash transaction for Guerra to alleviate the club's financial difficulties, rather than a direct trade. Ceballos, who is not a prominent part of manager Xabi Alonso's strategy, had an opportunity to move to Marseille over the summer but chose to remain at the club. There has also been interest from Juventus, with Italian media reporting that the Serie A team will be observing him over the next few months. Transfermarkt places his current market valuation at an estimated €10 million.
