Spaniard Danny Sebayos is entering the 2025-2026 season in an exceptional position inside Real Madrid, after he chose to stay in the team instead of moving to Marseille in the last hours of the summer transfer market.
Why did Sibaios refuse to move to Marseille?
The midfielder was on the threshold of leaving the French league, but he changed his decision and preferred to continue with Real Madrid. This decision was put in front of the most difficult test in his career with the Royal Club, as he has been required to prove himself in front of his coach Xabi Alonso, and at the same time persuading the Spanish coach Luis de la Fuente before the 2026 World Cup.
The ambition to participate with the Spain national team
The Spanish newspaper “Mundo Deportivo” indicated that Sebayos has the difficulty of his position, but he is betting on his experience and his previous relationship with De la Fuente since the national team under 21 years. His opportunity in the next World Cup will depend on his performance in the current season and the extent of his dependence on the starting lineup for Real.
The challenges of the new season with Real Madrid
Sebayos begins the season late for his midfield colleagues due to his lack of participation, which makes him fierce competition in order to win the confidence of Alonso. The newspaper stressed that his future will be decided based on the minutes that the coach will give him, and the convincing performance he will perform.
How can Sebayos change his current position?
The Andalusian player realizes that the opportunity is still in place, and that the season is in its infancy. The biggest challenge in front of him is to prove his worth in a place in the Real Madrid’s basic list, which may open the door for him to the dream of participating in the 2026 World Cup with his country.
Sibaios march with Real Madrid
Sibayos joined Real Madrid in the summer of 2017 from Real Betis for 16.5 million euros, and his current contract with the club extends until the summer of 2027, which gives him sufficient time to change his course if he succeeds in imposing himself this season.
