Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos is reportedly a target for Atletico Madrid in the upcoming summer transfer window. The 27-year-old, who signed a new four-year contract with Real Madrid last year, has struggled for regular playing time this season, facing stiff competition from several midfielders.

Despite his limited opportunities, Ceballos has attracted interest from Atletico Madrid, according to Spanish radio station Cadena Ser. A move to Atletico would see Ceballos join former Real Madrid players like Marcos Llorente and Alvaro Morata in the rival camp. Ceballos joined Real Madrid from Real Betis in 2017 and spent two successful years on loan at Arsenal between 2019 and 2021. Upon his return to Real Madrid, he managed to secure a place in the squad and won his second Champions League medal in 2022. However, this season, he has been restricted to just 14 La Liga appearances, with only one start.

In addition to Atletico Madrid, Ceballos has also been linked with a return to former club Real Betis, although financial constraints may hinder any potential reunion. There is also interest from Aston Villa, with manager Unai Emery, who signed Ceballos for Arsenal, reportedly keen on a reunion in the Premier League.
