Dani Ceballos informs Real Madrid of his decision, his future set to be decided

The fate that awaits Dani Ceballos next season after communicating with Real Madrid

Dani Ceballos has been on the list of possible departures from Real Madrid for several seasons. Real Betis made some moves last summer to try to sign Ceballos. However, according to what we know at Defensa Central, Dani Ceballos has informed Real Madrid of his decision to remain a Madridist.

This is a radical change in the situation of the experienced midfielder from Utrera. Despite the rumors that placed him outside Real Madrid, Ceballos is looking to stay to keep helping the club. Although Xabi has already decided who his starting midfielders will be, Ceballos could be helpful for rotations during the season.

His decision to stay at the club shows that he has accepted his role as a substitute player. This is an important step with which the player could achieve his goal of remaining a Madridist. For now, Real Madrid hasn't commented on this.

The desire to keep succeeding as a Madridist

Last season was full of ups and downs for Dani Ceballos at Real Madrid. After failing to secure his departure during the summer, Ceballos remained a substitute until the injuries that affected the team. When the team needed a playmaker, Ceballos managed to get minutes that showed the talent the Spaniard still had.

However, an injury prevented him from finishing the season and once again kept him off the field. During the Club World Cup, with Xabi as coach, Ceballos didn't play many minutes. Modric, whose departure had been announced, played more minutes than the Spaniard.

This is a situation that, despite everything, doesn't seem to have broken Ceballos's desire to stay at Real Madrid. Despite the signings the club keeps making, Ceballos doesn't have the desire to leave. This is a situation similar to Eduardo Camavinga's, whose future is uncertain.

Real Madrid's decision

Although he has been clear about his intentions, Ceballos's stay doesn't depend only on him. Real Madrid, considering its plans for next season, must decide about the Utrera native. If he stays, he would be a good rotation player but, if he leaves, the club expects to receive a decent income.
