AC Milan and Atletico Madrid have emerged as frontrunners in the race to secure the services of Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos, whose future at the Spanish capital club looks uncertain. Ceballos, a Spain international, is expected to be on the move this summer, with several top clubs vying for his signature.
AC Milan’s interest in Ceballos dates back to the summer of 2022, and despite failing to secure his services then, the Italian giants have not given up on their pursuit.

According to AS, Milan has maintained a keen interest in the midfielder and has made inquiries about his availability ahead of the upcoming transfer window.
The relationship between AC Milan and Real Madrid is known to be excellent, with the two clubs having conducted several transfers in recent years. Real Madrid has previously sold Theo Hernández to AC Milan, loaned Brahim Diaz to the club for two years, and sent academy prospect Alex Jiménez abroad for experience.
This positive relationship could play a crucial role in any potential deal for Ceballos.
Real Madrid, for their part, are prepared to offload Ceballos this summer and are reportedly seeking a fee in the region of €8 million for the midfielder. The 25-year-old, who has a contract with Real Madrid until 2027, is said to be open to a move away from the club in search of regular first-team football.
Atletico Madrid are also closely monitoring the situation surrounding Ceballos. The reigning La Liga champions are reportedly interested in the midfielder and could make a move for him if he becomes available in the summer.
With interest from multiple top clubs, Ceballos is likely to have several options to consider as he weighs up his future. A move to either AC Milan or Atletico Madrid would offer the talented midfielder the opportunity to showcase his abilities in two of Europe’s top leagues, and it remains to be seen where he will end up come the end of the transfer window.
