Real Madrid will not demand a ‘single euro’ for midfielder’s departure

Real Madrid are looking to accelerate on sales at this point in the summer transfer window, for balancing out the arrivals with necessary departures is key before they progress in their objective of revamping the midfield.

Dani Ceballos, on that front, is seen as a top candidate to leave the club given his lack of prominence in recent seasons under various managers.

Matters have not gone to plan for the Spanish midfielder since his latest renewal with Real Madrid.

He rejected a departure from the club at the last moment last summer, hoping for prominence under Xabi Alonso, but he has now resigned to his fate and is open to a departure.

A sale with no compensation

Earlier this week, it was said that discussions between Real Madrid and Ceballos over a departure were at a standstill as the club did not want to allow the player to leave with no monetary compensation.

Now, however, Fabrizio Romano clarifies that Real Madrid are not looking for any profit or compensation from the Spanish midfielder’s transfer.

In fact, they will not demand a single euro from his sale and are open to his departure on a free transfer.

At this point, the club are fed up with Ceballos’ situation and just want him to leave at any cost. After all, his salary being taken off the roster will be a big enough compensation for them on an economic level.

Negotiations will speed up
The most likely outcome of the current situation is that Real Madrid will terminate Ceballos’ contract on a mutual agreement, allowing him to leave as a free agent and link up with any team he sees an opportunity at.

Given that the club have now resigned to the fact that they will not gain anything from his departure, the formalities of his termination should not take too long.

The constant theme for Real Madrid throughout the summer so far has been one of urgency, and there is no reason why departures will be treated any differently from arrivals.

For his part, Ceballos is likely to join his boyhood club, Real Betis, with whom he has been trying to link up for several years now.

The dream may finally come true this summer, and all that remains is an agreement between him and Real Madrid over his exit.
