Real Madrid is closely monitoring the possible departure of one of its midfielders

Another summer, Dani Ceballos starts his own soap opera again after some words that suggest his possible departure from Real Madrid. The Utrera player was once again counted on by Carlo Ancelotti in the Italian's last season, but things changed again with Xabi Alonso in charge. The man from Tolosa barely used the midfielder in the Club World Cup, so the footballer might be considering making a decision.

Dani Ceballos left in 2017 for Santiago Bernabéu to sign for Real Madrid. However, at Benito Villamarín the return of the prodigal son has always been present. A homegrown player who decided to leave home, but who has always spoken well of Real Betis.

The truth is that, as the years have gone by, after failing to secure a spot in the starting eleven, DaniCeballos has been dropping hints. Hints about his clear desire to return to Real Betis sooner or later. His goal is to retire at the club of his life, and at Real Madrid they are aware of it.

Dani Ceballos's latest message to Real Betis

"I hope the doors are always open, but I haven't spoken with them yet. We're open to everything", said Dani Ceballos.

Currently, the relationship between Real Madrid and Real Betis is positive, but the white club isn't going to give Dani Ceballos away. Last summer there was already talk of the possible departure of the player to the verdiblanco team, but at Benito Villamarín they couldn't pay what Florentino Pérez was asking for.

Real Madrid asked for 15 million euros for Dani Ceballos's transfer and Real Betis tried to pursue other options. In fact, they tried to pay for 50% of the player's rights, but the white club didn't accept any offer of that kind.

The summer will be very long for Dani Ceballos

Another summer, the market will once again be very long for a Dani Ceballos who isn't very clear about his final decision. He played just 70 min. (70 minutes) in United States and had zero starts with XabiAlonso. He is clear that he doesn't want to spend another year warming the bench at Bernabéu, so he will have to step up.

Again, from Real Madrid they emphasize that Florentino Pérez won't have any problem letting him leave if an attractive offer arrives. At Real Betis they know it, but they'll have to study the costs of the operation.
