Arsenal have made a couple of signings during the ongoing transfer window and as per Sky Sports’ Dharmesh Sheth, midfielder Dani Ceballos is next on their list.
Ceballos is reportedly interested in remaining at the club for the 2020-21 season but until a new deal is finalised, the 24-year-old will have to rejoin Real Madrid for their pre-season training.
He wrote for Sky Sports: “Following the arrivals of Willian, Gabriel, Pablo Mari and Cedric Soares at the Emirates Stadium, it’s understood Dani Ceballos signing on loan for Arsenal again next season remains a possibility.
“Talks are ongoing between the Gunners and his parent club Real Madrid over securing another loan deal for the midfielder, with Ceballos believed to be keen on staying at Arsenal.
“Ceballos is expected to link up with Zinedine Zidane’s side for pre-season training, ahead of the 2020/21 La Liga campaign, while negotiations continue.
“He is under contract at Real Madrid until 2023, and has featured in 56 games for the club since his arrival at the Bernabeu from Real Betis in 2017.”
Arsenal are keen to land defensive midfielder Thomas Partey on a massive deal from Atletico Madrid which is the biggest reason why the Gunners are holding onto Dani Ceballos on yet another loan deal.
But with the midfielder showing his class in the Premier League during the latter stages of the 2019-20 season, Real Madrid will now want to push in an obligation to buy in the new contract.
We are not sure if Arsenal will accept this arrangement but with Matteo Guendouzi almost certain to leave, Dani Ceballos will obviously be staying at the Emirates next season.
