Real Madrid has decided to halt its interest in Martín Zubimendi for the upcoming summer transfer window. The main reason behind this decision is Florentino Pérez's confidence that Dani Ceballos can maintain the excellent level he is showing this season, as reported by Defensa Central.

The Andalusian midfielder has demonstrated his ability to take on a more significant role in the team, leading the white directive to reconsider the need to sign a new midfielder.

For months, the Real Sociedad midfielder has been linked to the Merengue team, especially after Toni Kroos' departure. However, Ceballos' growth has changed the landscape. His performance has convinced Carlo Ancelotti and the board, who believe that the Utrera native can meet the demands of the Madrid midfield without the need for a multimillion-euro investment in Zubimendi, whose buyout clause is around 60 million euros.

Real Madrid will rely on the continuity of Dani Ceballos

Ceballos' performance in recent matches has been pivotal in this decision. His ability to create play, defensive sacrifice, and vision on the field have been key for Real Madrid to maintain solidity in the midfield. Additionally, his connection with players like Valverde, Camavinga, and Tchouaméni has been outstanding, reinforcing the idea that the team already has a solid foundation in that area of the field.

For now, the club will continue to evaluate Ceballos' progression, but the possibility of signing Zubimendi has been put on hold. The trust in the Sevillian is absolute, and his performance in the coming months will be crucial in determining whether Madrid seeks a midfield reinforcement or definitively backs him.
