Ceballos's message that's shaken social media doesn't hold back: “I tried...

Dani Ceballos has set social media ablaze. The Real Madrid midfielder has posted a message that has left everyone thinking.

"Nothing leaves the conscience more at peace than a 'I tried everything'", he wrote on his Instagram account.

The phrase hasn't gone unnoticed. Comments have poured in quickly. Many have interpreted it as a farewell. Others, as a sign that something important is about to be decided.

Ceballos, who has a contract until 2027, isn't going through his best moment with the club. With Xabi Alonso on the bench, his prominence has diminished. In the Club World Cup, for example, he barely featured in the coach's plans.

Return path to Betis?

At 28 years old, Ceballos doesn't hide that Real Betis is still special to him. On more than one occasion, he has said that he'd like to return.

"Betis was my home and it always will be... I hope the door is always open," he commented a few weeks ago. A clear hint. Now, with this message on social media, speculation has flared up again.

In fact, sources close to the player say that he's seriously considering his future. He wants to play. He wants to feel important. If he can't achieve that in Madrid, he won't close the door to other options.

Another message between the lines

In addition to his viral phrase, Ceballos shared an image of the book he's reading: "Dopamine Nation" by Anna Lembke. It's a text about how to find balance in an era dominated by immediate pleasure. Coincidence? Or a reflection on his personal situation?

The footballer seems to be in a moment of introspection. He doesn't appear frustrated, but he does seem thoughtful. He knows that he's given everything he had. If he has to take a new path, he'll do so without regrets.

The message is clear. He's tried. Now, the next step will depend on Xabi's project and on what he himself decides. Summer has only just begun... and Ceballos's future is hanging in the air again.
