The 2025 season is about to begin and Real Madrid remains alert to key moves in the market. In recent weeks, rumors about the possible arrival of Joshua Kimmich to the white club have been intense, although the situation seems to have taken an unexpected turn. Meanwhile, a renewed and confident Dani Ceballos is preparing to make important decisions about his future.
The Kimmich Saga: Real Madrid or Bayern?
For months, Joshua Kimmich's name has been on the lips of fans and the media. The Bayern Munich midfielder has been linked with Real Madrid as a possible addition to strengthen the squad, especially in the midfield area and as a right-back. Kimmich, 30, was in a favorable situation, with his contract with Bayern Munich set to expire in June 2025.
The opportunity to sign him for free, without a transfer, made him an attractive option for many clubs, including Madrid. However, the white club's stance seems to have changed.
According to fichajes.com, Real Madrid has no intention of moving forward with the signing of the German. Despite the interest, it has been noted that the merengue priority is not on Kimmich, and the option of his signing has cooled considerably.
Kimmich and Bayern: An Agreement Near?
Meanwhile, in Germany, news indicates that Kimmich is getting closer to renewing with Bayern Munich. According to the latest reports, the Bavarian club has reached an agreement to keep the midfielder in their ranks, even assuring him that there will be no cut in his current salary.
This seems to clear up doubts about his departure and confirm that the chances of Kimmich leaving for Madrid are increasingly remote.
Ceballos, the Man of the Future in Madrid
As the chances of signing Kimmich fade, there is another player gaining strength within Real Madrid: Dani Ceballos. The Spanish midfielder has stepped up and feels ready to take on greater responsibilities in the team.
After several seasons of ups and downs, Ceballos has found his best version in this final stretch of the season. He has earned a place in the starting eleven, showing his quality and ability to dominate the midfield. Now, Ceballos sees himself with the necessary confidence to take a further step and lead Madrid's midfield.
With a more mature and determined attitude, Dani Ceballos has made it clear that he is willing to give his best for the future of Real Madrid. In conversations with the management, the midfielder has conveyed a clear message to Florentino Pérez: "Presi, I can lead the midfield."
