Napoli interested in former Real Madrid and Arsenal midfielder Ceballos
Napoli are reportedly making a move for Dani Ceballos, aiming to bolster Massimiliano Allegri's midfield. The experienced Spanish player is also drawing interest from Juventus.
According to reports, the Neapolitan club has already put forward an offer to Ceballos' representatives. The midfielder recently became a free agent after a significant tenure with Real Madrid.
The 30-year-old Ceballos is also in discussions with Real Betis, the club where he began his development before his move to Real Madrid in 2017. However, Napoli are actively working to persuade the Spanish international to continue his career in Serie A.
Ceballos' wealth of experience at the top level makes him a desirable acquisition for Allegri, particularly with Napoli's aspirations to contend across multiple competitions this season.
Juventus also monitoring Ceballos amid Napoli links
Napoli faces competition from Juventus, though the Spaniard is reportedly not currently a primary target for the Turin-based club.
It's understood that Juventus management has maintained an interest in Ceballos, having considered signing him last summer. Their immediate transfer priorities lie elsewhere, potentially giving Napoli an advantage in securing his signature.
With Ceballos now available without a transfer fee, Napoli's pursuit could accelerate if the player's representatives respond favorably to their proposal.
Consequently, Napoli is looking to leverage the midfielder's free-agent status to add another experienced player to Allegri's squad.
