OFFICIAL: Dani Ceballos is not leaving Real Madrid on deadline day

Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos was surprisingly expected to leave in the final days of the summer transfer window but the club has now closed the door on the midfielder’s departure.

The Spaniard featured for Los Blancos a couple of times last season and is not receiving the minutes he desires at the Santiago Bernabeu. Carlo Ancelotti reportedly tried his best to persuade the midfielder to stay beyond the summer. Ceballos leaving this late in the transfer window would have made things complicated for Real Madrid.
