Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly planning to make an audacious bid for Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos.
The Spanish midfielder’s contract at Santiago Bernabeu will end this summer, and he can negotiate terms with interested parties over a potential move.
Present club Real are in talks with the 26-year-old about extending his contract, who is said to be happy in Madrid. The club are confident or renewing his deal, but there are ongoing concerns about his playing time at the Bernabeu.

Madrid have a swathe of quality options in midfield, including Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga, to name just four. The La Liga giants are also looking to add further steel in their midfield this summer as they reportedly have a strong interest in signing Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund.
That could mean even less game time for Ceballos. The player has recently enjoyed a run in the first team, putting in several impressive performances. Yet, he has never started more than 13 La Liga games in a season for Real since arriving from Real Betis in 2017.
Ceballos is reportedly attracting interest from England again, this time from Wolves, who are looking to bolster their central midfield options and are managed by former Real Madrid boss Julen Lopetegui.
The Spanish coach knows and admires Ceballos very much, given that both men spent a couple of months together during Lopetegui’s brief stint as Madrid’s boss. The 26-year-old could help fill the potential voids left by Ruben Neves and Matheus Nunes in midfield, as both players could be sold this summer.
