World Class players are very expensive in the world transfer market nowadays. That is why teams are starting to jump on them at a young age. Nick Gonzalez takes a look at three under-21 players  Real Madrid should try and sign.

*This list excludes the obvious Donnaruma, Mbappe, Dembele.

Dani Ceballos – Midfielder

Dani Ceballos is a Spanish midfielder currently playing his football at La Liga side Real Betis.

Ceballos would be more a luxury signing than anything else for Real Madrid, but if you have a chance to bring in this type of player, you do just that. Even if you are forced to stash him, or send him back on loan.

The 20-year-old Spanish midfielder lit up La Liga last season for Real Betis and is doing the same for Spain right now in the under 21 FIFA World Cup.

There already has been mutual interest between both Ceballos and Real Madrid, so that should only make things easier. Even with Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, and Mateo Kovacic, you can never have enough of class pure midfielders. At just 20, Real Madrid can stash him for three to four years at the worst, and bring him back when he is ready.
