Arsenal suffer blow in their bid to sign Dani Ceballos permanently

Real Madrid has rejected Arsenal’s offer to make the transfer of Dani Ceballos permanent.

Arsenal signed the Spanish international on loan for the season and he has been impressive for them so far. Ceballos has netted once and provided two assists as Arsenal bid to return to the Champions League next season.

His performances this season have impressed Unai Emery and reports from Spain claims that the Spaniard has made a bid of £26million to make his move permanent.

The report claims that Arsenal’s bid fell short by £4million as Real Madrid are looking to sell him for £30million.

Ceballos has recently talked about his future and admitted that he enjoys playing at the Emirates Stadium. He also intimated he won’t mind spending the rest of his career at Arsenal.

The 23-year-old offers Arsenal more creativity in midfield as Unai Emery continues to sideline Mesut Ozil.

Real Madrid is looking to sell off some of their star men and make room for new signings to refresh their squad. Ceballos is not rated much by Zinedine Zidane who has to sell so he can sign targets like Paul Pogba and N’Golo Kante.
