From Having One Foot Out of Madrid to Establishing Himself Against City: Florentino Gives the Ok
Dani Ceballos had an outstanding match against Manchester City and Real Madrid is considering offering him a contract renewal.
Dani Ceballos Has Made a Radical Turnaround in His Situation at Real Madrid. From being practically out of the club, his performance against Manchester City in the Champions League has changed everything. Florentino Pérez Has Taken Note and the Club Doesn't Want to Let Him Go.
Exhibition Against City
The Spaniard was key in Madrid's 3-1 victory over the English team. His match was divided into two brilliant acts.
First Half: The Team's Brain
Ceballos managed the game with authority and precision. He was responsible for giving fluidity to transitions and neutralizing City's pressure with accurate passes and secure drives.
He was the leader in the midfield, ensuring possession and setting the pace of the match.

Second Half: In a State of Grace
In the second half, the Utrera native was even more dominant. He controlled the game with ease and showed quality details.
Physically, he offered a spectacular display, covering miles (kilometers) and showing intensity in every action. Additionally, he finished the match with an impressive 90% pass accuracy, completing 56 out of 62 attempts. Three of those passes were long, something key to relieving Manchester City's pressure.
He Left the Field to a Standing Ovation from Bernabéu, consolidating his status within the team and sending a clear message to Ancelotti.
Kroos's Successor
Since Toni Kroos's Retirement, Real Madrid Has Been Looking for a Footballer Who Can Take on His Role. Ceballos has shown that he is the most similar to the German in terms of game control, vision, and ball distribution.

His ability to maintain possession and distribute with precision makes him a pillar in the white midfield. Ancelotti Has Understood This and Has Given Him a More Prominent Role in Recent Matches.
Madrid No Longer Wants to Let Him Go
A Few Months Ago, His Departure Seemed Certain. He barely counted for Ancelotti and his return to Betis seemed a fact.
But now, the club plans to fight for him to stay. His talent and commitment have convinced the management.
Florentino has given the green light. Ceballos remains at Madrid and his future may have changed forever.
