Much of the talk surrounding Real Madrid in the last two months, at least in terms of their transfer activity. With injuries severely hampering his defense at centre-back and right-back, many in the Spanish capital have suggested that reinforcements would come in handy for Carlo Ancelotti’s side. However, there will be no departures from his squad either, which could end up being just as important.
That includes Dani Ceballos. The Andalusian midfielder has been linked with a departure since months after he signed a four-year contract with the club until 2027. In particular, Ceballos has flirted with a return to his first club, Real Betis, although the finances have never worked out. . This summer the Verdiblancos made an offer that Real Madrid considered insufficient and demanded at least 15 million euros for him.
Now with more opportunities and more minutes in recent months, his situation has changed again. Injuries to Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga have given him a chance and, beyond Fede Valverde, he is currently arguably playing the best football of all of Ancelotti’s midfielders.
Following Real Madrid’s victory over Las Palmas on Sunday, Ceballos confirmed that he would stay at the club for the rest of the season.
“The decision is firm. I have spoken with the club, with the coach. I will surely stay until the end of the season. I wish the best for Betis, which is not in a good dynamic. “I am sure that they will turn around and players like Isco, Lo Celso and others will take a step forward and take Betis to where it deserves to be,” he told Relevo.
The most important headline of his comments was a slap against Diego Simeone, but his response leaves the door open to an exit in the summer. Real Madrid have been linked with midfield reinforcements this summer, and Ceballos will no doubt fear his role could change again.
