Wolves may bid for Dani Ceballos, as the midfielder’s contract with Real Madrid ends this summer. The 26-year-old could replace aging Joao Moutinho.
Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club, also known as Wolves, are reportedly on the hunt for a new midfielder, and the latest rumours suggest that the club is prepared to make a surprise bid for Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos.
According to reputable sources, the 26-year-old, whose contract with the Spanish giants is set to expire in the summer, is being eyed up as a potential recruit by the Midlands-based outfit, with Wolves willing to make an “audacious bid” to bring him to Molineux Stadium.
The signing of a midfielder would undoubtedly make sense for Wolves, particularly given that Joao Moutinho, their current midfield stalwart, is now 36 years old and in need of a long-term replacement. Furthermore, Wolves’ current midfield options have not been able to provide the necessary quality alongside Ruben Neves to compete higher up the Premier League table.
Ceballos, who has previously showcased his talents in the English top flight during a loan spell at Arsenal, could be a shrewd signing for Wolves, who could benefit from his experience and technical ability.
While the Spaniard may not have been able to produce his best performances at Arsenal, a move to a mid-table team such as Wolves could provide him with the perfect platform to reignite his career in England.
However, whether the deal goes ahead or not will depend on the future of Wolves, who are currently fighting for their Premier League survival this season and could face the prospect of relegation.
Nonetheless, the potential addition of Ceballos could provide the much-needed impetus for Wolves to avoid the drop and build for the future.
