Dani Ceballos's future at Real Madrid is hanging in the air. After weeks of rumors, it's now official: the Sevillian player wants to leave the club. His negotiations with Marseille have accelerated concern among the club's board.
The midfielder has shown quality on the field, but he knows he needs minutes to keep growing. The season is long and Madrid needs players with his profile, so a possible departure of Ceballos would set off alarms at Chamartín.
Toni Kroos, between rumors and reality
Amid this situation, Toni Kroos has appeared in unexpected conversations. Some international intermediaries working close to Real Madrid contacted the German to ask about Stiller, a young midfielder from Stuttgart. The idea was to find out if he was still available on the market and if he could join the club this week.
However, Kroos doesn't want to get involved. The player, who belongs to the same agency as Stiller, made it clear that it's not his role to mediate in signings. Even so, his name appeared on Madrid's radar, showing the importance of international contacts.
Stiller, a talent with patience
Although Madrid likes Stiller, for now he's not a priority. The young German has three more years on his contract with Stuttgart and he's in no hurry to leave Germany. In addition, other clubs have also shown interest, but that information was quickly denied.
If the opportunity to join Real Madrid arose, Stiller wouldn't hesitate. However, the club is still evaluating other options they believe fit the squad's style better. The organization is looking for footballers with experience and the ability to adapt immediately.
Madrid's strategy
Real Madrid keeps calm; there's no deal closed with Ceballos or Stiller. The club remains alert to the market and is analyzing several midfielders who could strengthen the squad. The idea is not to rush and to make smart decisions.
Xabi Alonso, recently questioned about the transfer window, was cautious. He pointed out that until the market closes, anything can happen and the team is prepared for any eventuality. Prudence is key, especially in such a busy summer as this one.
The coming days will be decisive; Madrid could make an unexpected move and surprise its fans. For now, the strategy is clear: patience, observation, and preparation. The season is long and the club wants to start with the strongest squad possible.
