Real Madrid Confidencial Dani Ceballos's departure could cost Real Madrid dearly: $25M
Real Madrid could sell Dani Ceballos for a lower price than its replacement
Real Madrid continues its search for talent to strengthen its squad, and Calafat already has a new prospect in his sights. This is Kees Smit, a player from AZ who has made a splash at the latest European tournament with the Netherlands.
According to sources close to the club, interest in this young talent arises in a context where Dani Ceballos could leave the team. Calafat's philosophy, focused on attracting emerging prospects, has been key to the club's recent success, with names like Vinícius, Mastantuono, or Güler as some examples.
Kees Smit, an option Real Madrid is considering
Kees Smit is a midfielder with great potential; he stands out for his versatility, vision on the field, and ability to adapt to different tactical systems. His style fits the profile Real Madrid seeks: young players, hungry for success, and with the potential to become key figures.
No details have been revealed about the cost of his transfer, but it is known that his value could be around €25 million. The departure of Dani Ceballos, who has played a secondary role in recent years, could facilitate this operation, freeing up salary space and a spot in the squad.
Meanwhile, there are no negotiations between the parties for now, but there is interest from Real Madrid. However, Madridist fans are eager at the possibility of seeing another young gem shine at Santiago Bernabéu. If the deal goes through, Kees Smit could follow in the footsteps of other prospects who have succeeded under Calafat's leadership.
A good deal for Real Madrid?
Meanwhile, Dani Ceballos, if he leaves Real Madrid, would leave about €15 million in the club's coffers. If the white team were to sign Kees Smit for €25 million, it would be €10 million that, so to speak, the Madridist squad would lose.
However, we are talking about two players at completely different stages of their careers. On one hand, Dani Ceballos would leave Real Madrid to gradually step away from the top elite. Meanwhile, Kees Smit continues to develop with the goal of succeeding in the future and being able to play for one of the best clubs in the world.
