Real Madrid has reduced the number of players in its first team squad compared to last season. Kepa Arrizabalaga, Nacho Fernandez, Toni Kroos and Joselu Mato all left before the summer, with only Kylian Mbappe and Endrick Felipe arriving. Despite this, Carlo Ancelotti has stated that the club is closed for business.
Ancelotti has stated that there will be no signings or sales involving the first team, although he has not stopped rumors of possible departures. Andriy Lunin has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League, while Dani Ceballos has also considered his future, in another season where he probably won't see too much action.
In the case of the latter, he is willing to fight for a starting place – which is now more likely after the recent injury suffered by Eduardo Camavinga. Marco say that Ceballos – who has been linked with Atletico Madrid and Real Betis in recent months – has decided not to leave Real Madrid this summer as his plan is to elevate himself in the eyes of Ancelotti .
It is clear that Real Madrid cannot afford to lose any more players this summer, so club bosses will appreciate Ceballos' desire to stay. He should see more playing time than he did last season.
