ARSENAL will reportedly have to shell out £44million if they want to keep Dani Ceballos this summer.
Spanish outlet AS claims Real Madrid will not be loaning out the midfielder next season due to coronavirus wrecking football competitions across the continent.
The transfer market could be set for a major shake-up due to teams losing money through games being stopped.
And Real want Ceballos – and other players out on loan – back at the Bernabeu in case they are unable to sign new faces.
However, Zinedine Zidane willl consider letting Ceballos go for the right price.
It’s reckoned Real are ready to accept bids of at least £44m for the attacking midfielder, who joined Arsenal on loan last summer.

Ceballos has made 24 appearances in all competitions, and Mikel Arteta is apparently keen on keeping him in north London.
However, a second loan spell looks to be out of the question.
And Arsenal will have to find funds somewhere otherwise turn their focus to new midfield targets.
It’s believed one target is Chelsea star Willian, who is out of contract this summer.

He wanted a three-year deal to stay at Stamford Bridge, but the Blues were only offering two.
However, Willian is demanding the same contract length to sign for Arsenal, who are reluctant to commit for more than two seasons.
And that could open the door for Spurs to swoop.
