Ancelotti Begs Him Not to Leave Madrid in January after Years on the Way out
Ancelotti asks a player not to leave, he considers him an important piece
Dani Ceballos has seen his situation take a radical and totally unexpected turn in recent days. Every transfer market his name is one of the most talked about as a possible departure. It happened last summer and in January everything pointed to it being repeated.
Betis had set their sights on him as an alternative to reinforce the midfield and were preparing an offer. However, Ceballos has seen how Ancelotti has started to use him . Not only sporadically, but also as a starter in important games such as against Atalanta .
This has made him no longer see his departure as clear, but Ancelotti is reportedly trying to convince him. According to reports from Valdebebas, he has given him confidence and has assured him minutes. "Please, don't go now, you're going to be very important," he is said to have asked him.
Carletto was already responsible for Dani not leaving a few summers ago and finally renewing his contract. Although it has been difficult for him to enter the rotation , little by little he is achieving it this season. And that could be decisive for him to decide to stay with the Merengue team this winter market.
A Profile That Real Madrid Hasn't Found Again
Kroos' departure last summer had left a void at Real Madrid that Ancelotti had been unable to fill. He could not find a player who could give meaning to the Merengues' game, especially when the opposition puts in high pressure that makes it difficult to get the ball out.
But Ceballos has shown that he is that player, that he has a profile that the Merengues had not found. To such an extent that he is starting to become irreplaceable within the team. Ancelotti knows this and for that reason he has asked him not to leave in January even though Betis insist on him.
It seems unlikely that Ceballos will leave now that he is starting to gain more continuity and confidence. Especially because his goal is still to get minutes to return to the national team. And if he continues on that path, he believes he could have some chance for the 2026 World Cup.
