Real Madrid kicked off their La Liga campaign with a 1-0 win against Osasuna.

The club has brought in several reinforcements, mainly in defense, and there have also been several exits.

With Xabi Alonso coming in as manager, there are players still on the outskirts of the team, hoping to find their way into the side. 

More departures could come, with one player being linked to several Champions League sides. 

Which Real player is wanted by Champions League clubs?

According to AS, Dani Ceballos is being sought out by Champions League sides.

The 29-year-old has received offers to join a new club, as he is not currently in Alonso's starting eleven. 

The same report claims that Ceballos wants to stay at Real and fight for his place in the team. 

A new midfielder arriving at Real this summer can't be ruled out, and that would push Ceballos even further down the pecking order.

There are five midfielders preferred by Alonso to Ceballos, but the Spanish midfielder believes he has a chance to get back into the squad. 

Real are open to offers for the 29-year-old, with the Spanish side valuing him between €15m and €20m. 

A move away could be what Ceballos needs, though, to get into Spain's 2026 World Cup squad.
