Dani Ceballos is looking increasingly likely to leave Real Madrid in the summer and Milan have spotted a transfer market opportunity, Spanish reports detail.

The 27-year-old Spanish midfielder has struggled for consistent playing time this season, despite having the appreciation of coach Carlo Ancelotti, seeing just 503 minutes of action across 21 appearances this season.

Milan are gearing up for an important summer transfer window, needing the right reinforcements to help them close the gap to league leaders Inter, who are on the verge of securing their 20th ever Scudetto.
