According to a number of reliable sources, the deal to sign Dani Ceballos has taken a major step forward. After Real Madrid agreed to Ajax's latest bid for the player, the focus has now shifted to personal terms as they look to get a deal done. The midfielder is said to be receptive to the move, which would see him join an already talented squad ahead of the run-in. Until a fee and conditions are finalised, the deal remains vulnerable to disruption - especially if Aston Villa, Juventus and Real Betis decide to make a formal offer of their own in the coming days. Ajax look balanced this season - 1.88 goals scored and 1.24 goals conceded per game. Dani Ceballos would be expected to bring control and consistency to help push them to another level. Reports suggest Real Madrid are monitoring Ivan Fresneda, Pedro Porro and Denzel Dumfries whereas Ajax have not been associated with other players at this stage.
