Liverpool not willing to include buy-back clause in potential Ceballos deal

Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham have all been heavily linked with a summer move for Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos. 

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has reportedly given the club the green light to pursue the 22-year-old, who is surplus to requirements at the Bernabeu.

The 22-year-old will reportedly cost €50 million to any potential buyer, however, the Reds, according to Spanish outlet Marca, cited by Sports Witness, are unwilling to include a buy-back option in a potential deal. 

Madrid will only sanction a summer move if they can guarantee a buy-back clause, which could prove to be a stumbling block in the three Premier League giants’ pursuit of the player. 

Zinedine Zidane isn’t interested in including the youngster in his plans next season, despite the creative midfielder recently playing a key role in Spain’s Under 21 European Championship triumph. 

Klopp may now look elsewhere for a marquee signing this summer following the latest report, which could see Ceballos struggle to find a new side ahead of the new season.
