Ceballos isn't the only one: Betis asks Real Madrid to sign another starter

The Verdiblanco team has reportedly asked Real Madrid for two of its players for the next season

Dani Ceballos still hasn't found his place at Real Madrid, and that's clearly something that worries the Andalusian footballer. The Utrera player became essential again under Carlo Ancelotti, but it seems that with Xabi Alonso he could lose his spot. Although the coach from Tolosa has spoken well about him, the minutes he has accumulated so far in the Club World Cup have been quite scarce.

Currently, Dani Ceballos is behind players like Tchouaméni, Valverde, Güler, or Bellingham. That is without considering the arrival of Franco Mastantuono, who will join Real Madrid to be a starter.

Real Betis show interest in Dani Ceballos again

It's true that Real Madrid isn't thinking about selling Dani Ceballos because having this type of player is always a positive thing. However, Real Betis's interest has resurfaced, and the footballer is paying close attention to it. 

It is true that Dani Ceballos has never hidden his desire to return to Real Betis, but the conditions haven't been right. Not all footballers can fit at Real Madrid, and an offer from Villamarín could change everything in a matter of minutes.

Gonzalo?

Another option highlighted by Real Betis is the loan of Gonzalo García for next season. The Spanish striker has surprised everyone in the Club World Cup by scoring two goals and providing one assist in just three matches. He has managed to earn Xabi Alonso's trust and, barring any surprises, he'll be part of the first team for the next campaign.

However, Real Betis dream of bringing in the player. The goal is to complete a loan similar to the one they did with Antony. They want a standout figure for next season, since the attack is one of the areas to strengthen at the Seville club.

However, Real Madrid are clear that the goal with Gonzalo García is for him to stay at least one season at Bernabéu. They want to see his performance with Xabi Alonso and check if he's that pure "9" the Basque coach has been demanding.
