Betis wants a 2-for-1 deal at Real Madrid this summer, Florentino doesn't approve it.

They want two signings from Real Madrid, but it seems difficult for them to achieve it

Betis seems to have set its sights on Real Madrid with the intention of strengthening for next season. After losing the Conference final to Chelsea, they are looking forward to the Europa League. However, they also want to approach it knowing they have a chance to win it.

That's why they want to strengthen and are willing to make a 2 for 1 deal at Real Madrid this summer. They want to sign two Madridists, Ceballos and Gonzalo, but it seems complicated. Florentino doesn't want to let the young homegrown striker go so easily.

He is the big revelation of the Club World Cup with strong performances in the group stage. He has scored 2 goals, provided one assist, and the overall impression has been excellent. To such an extent that Real Madrid is betting on him as a first-team player.

Xabi Alonso is very pleased with what he is contributing, both with the ball and without it. Although he had requested the signing of a center forward who would be strong in aerial play, Gonzalo has convinced him and he would ultimately be his choice for this season, and Florentino refuses to sell him.

Ceballos becomes a target for Betis again this summer

It has become something usual every time a transfer window opens, Betis goes after Ceballos. They want the return of the midfielder from Utrera because they know he would add quality. However, his high salary always makes it an impossible operation.

In this case, Real Madrid is open to negotiating Ceballos's departure this summer. However, they will not let him go at any price; they want around 20 million. But it must also be a decision made by Xabi Alonso and approved by him.

The man from Tolosa knows that Ceballos brings good ball control and he takes that into account. Especially because it is one of the biggest weaknesses in the midfield. Therefore, he may oppose Dani's departure and leave Betis without its signing.
