Zinedine Zidane's squad currently has 28 players, excluding Brazilian starlets Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo Goes, who are registered with the club's reserve side, but are expected to be part of the first team this campaign.
As a consequence, Real still need to get players off their wage bill, and it seems Dani Ceballos is the next to leave, as reported by BBC Football and AS.

Real will face Arsenal in the International Champions Cup in the US on Wednesday morning, but reports suggest the deal could be confirmed ahead of the game.
Arsenal have only signed Brazilian wonderkid Gabriel Martinelli so far in this window, but manager Unai Emery has confirmed they are working on multiple targets.
"We are working with calm in the market," he said, as quoted by AS.
"The three or four signings we will make, we are working on with patience in order to make the best decision possible with the best conditions."
Ceballos was part of the Spain squad that won the Uefa European Under-21 Championship last month. He was signed by Real in 2017 and has since made 56 appearances for the Spanish giants.

Although he is seemingly not in Zidane's immediate plans, Los Blancos appear to prefer to loan him out instead of selling him permanently.
