Endrick and Dani Ceballos say goodbye to Bernabéu, same offer: 'We're going to the...'

Two Madrid footballers are close to leaving Bernabéu to continue their careers at the same European club

Santiago Bernabéu is getting ready to bid farewell to two of its players. Endrick and Dani Ceballos might have their bags packed. Although their paths at Real Madrid have been different, their destinies could cross in the same place.

Endrick, heading toward the future

Endrick has been one of the players with the fewest minutes since Xabi Alonso arrived on Real Madrid's bench. However, his name already resonates strongly in European soccer. His breakthrough with Palmeiras and his outstanding performance at the Club World Cup have sparked the interest of several giants, including Juventus.

The Italian club sees him as a prospect who can flourish away from the immediate pressure of Bernabéu. Although signed by Madrid, his loan or sale with a buy-back option isn't an outlandish idea. His youth, talent, and potential make him a highly desired gem.

Amid all this noise, a serious proposal has emerged from Turin. The same one that's reached another player from the white club.

Ceballos, without a place under Xabi

Dani Ceballos has tried everything; with Ancelotti, he had his moments, but never the desired continuity. With Xabi Alonso, the outlook has been even bleaker. Few minutes, little prominence, and many doubts about his role.

With Luka Modric's departure, some expected him to get his chance. But not even that seems to open a spot for him. That's why his exit is almost a given, and Juventus, once again, is on the prowl.

According to sources close to the situation, the Italian team is willing to pay €12 million for the Andalusian midfielder. This is an amount that those at Valdebebas view favorably, considering his limited participation.

Turin as a shared destination

It's no coincidence that Juventus is interested in both. The Italian club is looking to renew its squad after another season to forget. Endrick fits as a bet for the future, Ceballos as an immediate reinforcement for the midfield.

Both players could say goodbye to Bernabéu in the coming weeks. "We're leaving for..." seems to be the phrase they share today. Everything suggests that destination starts with J and ends in Turin.

What about Betis?

Ceballos hasn't forgotten his home. In recent statements, he was clear: "Betis is my home and it always will be." He was also honest: "I'm open to everything."

The green-and-white club has inquired about him on more than one occasion, but it doesn't seem to be in a position to compete with the €12 million offered by Juve.

A key meeting

In the coming days, Florentino Pérez and Xabi Alonso will have a key meeting. It will be decided who stays and who leaves. Endrick and Ceballos are already on the transfer list.

Both have reached this point from different places. Now they share the same reality: seeking a new opportunity far from Bernabéu.
