Real Madrid are reportedly considering recalling Dani Ceballos from his loan spell at Arsenal as the midfielder struggles for starts in red and white.
The 24-year-old impressed under Mikel Arteta during his first loan spell at the club last season and was welcomed back to the Emirates Stadium with open arms for the 2020-21 campaign.
However, Ceballos has failed to hold down a regular spot in Arteta's team this season, with Granit Xhaka and Mohamed Elneny preferred to the Spain international in the Gunners' recent wins over Chelsea and Brighton & Hove Albion.
With the imminent return of Thomas Partey also set to hinder Ceballos's chances of breaking back into the team, Calciomercato claims that Real Madrid could look to terminate his loan deal at the Emirates Stadium.
The report adds that the midfielder has garnered significant interest from Serie A despite his struggles in the English capital, with Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan all in the hunt for his signature.
Ceballos has already made 22 appearances for Arteta's side in all competitions this term, but he has only started eight of Arsenal's 16 Premier League games so far.
Manchester United 'still want to bring Jack Grealish to Old Trafford'

Manchester United are reportedly still interested in Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish.
The England international was strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford over the summer, but the Red Devils were not prepared to meet Villa's asking price, which was thought to be in the region of £100m.
The 25-year-old has been in excellent form for Dean Smith's side during the 2020-21 campaign, scoring six times and registering eight assists in 15 appearances in all competitions.
Grealish is expected to captain fifth-placed Villa against second-placed United on Friday night when the two teams lock horns in the Premier League.
According to the Daily Mail, the 20-time English champions still want to bring the playmaker to Old Trafford, but they could be quoted in excess of £100m for a player who signed a five-year deal at Villa Park in September.
Grealish has scored five times and registered eight assists in the Premier League this term, helping his side win eight of their opening 14 matches during an excellent start.
