DANI CEBALLOS AND MARTIN ODEGAARD STAY
Dani Ceballos and Martin Odegaard will be returning from their loan spells from Arsenal. The former has already made it clear that he is against the idea of going out on another loan, while the latter shares somewhat the same feeling.

Real Madrid currently have Federico Valverde as the only central midfielder as the likes of Martin Odegaard and Isco are more attacking midfielders. Having said that, Dani Ceballos is still a quality player despite his sub-par performance with Arsenal this season.
The former Real Betis midfielder could be an excellent option to rotate the midfield with Valverde. Meanwhile, Martin Odegaard could become Carlo Ancelotti’s wild attacking card. to break down certain oppositions. The Italian loves a creative number 10 and the Norwegian fits the role as well.
