One Madridist for another: Fabrizio Romano hints at the signing after this serious injury

Just a few days before the start of the season, Real Betis has suffered a serious loss that could change its transfer market. According to information from Fabrizio Romano, Isco will be injured for at least three months. This, as we know at Defensa Central, has led Dani Ceballos to request that his signing by Real Betis be attempted.

The Spanish midfielder has been on the verdiblanco club's radar for a long time. Just last summer, Real Betis tried, unsuccessfully, to carry out his signing to strengthen its midfield. However, given the transfer fee demanded by Real Madrid, the club decided to rule out the return of its youth product.

This, with Isco's recent long-term injury, could change completely. With the loss of its leader in midfield, Real Betis could consider going after Ceballos. An operation that, of course, would be the best for everyone.

Ceballos's opportunity

At 29 years old, Dani Ceballos has managed to keep himself as a Real Madrid player despite his constant ups and downs. A Real Betis youth product from 2011 to 2015, Ceballos managed to play two seasons with the first team. During this stage, the Utrera native managed to show a quality that led him to Real Madrid in the summer of 2017.

Although Ceballos later went on loan to Arsenal, the player returned to Real Madrid in 2021. Despite the talent he managed to show at the time, Ceballos is not a major protagonist at the club. Injuries and the lack of trust from coaches have made his departure a possibility for some time.

Now, after Isco's injury, Ceballos truly has the opportunity to return to Real Betis. The player has even made it clear that he will do his part to make this possible. This could indicate that, to make this operation happen, Ceballos will give up things like his high salary at the merengue club.

The lack of a confirmation

Despite Ceballos's supposed desire to return to Real Betis, one must not forget his moves in past transfer windows. For years, the player has dedicated himself to raising the club's hopes with a possible return. That's why, in the absence of any official announcement, Ceballos's departure from Real Madrid remains a rumor.
