Juventus are planning changes in January. The Italian giants want to strengthen their midfield for the second half of the season.
Right now, the team is short of options in the middle of the pitch. The board and the manager, Igor Tudor, know they need someone who can bring more control and also link defence to attack.
That is why their search has led them to Real Madrid. The Merengues have a crowded midfield with so many options for their manager Xabi Alonso. .
At Valdebebas, the competition is intense. Young stars like Eduardo Camavinga and Jude Bellingham are ahead in the pecking order. That leaves little space for others to get regular time.
According to DefensaCentral, Real Madrid would allow a midfielder to leave in January, but only under one condition. An offer of at least €15 million will have to arrive before talks can begin.
Juventus see this as an interesting opportunity to sign Dani Ceballos. The fee is not small, but the Italians believe it is fair for someone with proven talent.
Ceballos’ future at Madrid has been uncertain for a long time. He renewed his contract in 2023, but chances to play have not improved much.
A return to Real Betis is always talked about. But that move is unlikely for now. Betis cannot pay the transfer fee or match his wages.
Transfer News Live has already reported that a French club also wanted to sign Dani Ceballos.
So, Juventus need to step in. The Old Lady want fresh energy in midfield. And Ceballos could see this as his chance to restart in a league where he will get more minutes.
The coming months will decide everything. Madrid will wait for the right offer. Juventus will have to act fast if they want to sign him in January.
