Dani Ceballos' new team? Real Madrid man hints at move to La Liga club as Santiago Bernabeu exit nears

<p>According to <a href="https://www.marca.com/futbol/real-madrid/2025/07/14/ceballos-ojala-siga-teniendo-puerta-abierta-betis.html" target="_blank"><em>Marca</em></a>, Ceballos is edging closer to a Madrid exit, having confirmed he’s open to a move back to Real Betis, the club where he began his professional career. Although he hasn’t yet spoken to the club directly, the midfielder admitted he’s open to all options. His lack of game time under Xabi Alonso at the Club World Cup has only strengthened rumours of a transfer.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The 28-year-old still has two years left on his Madrid deal, having signed an extension in 2023. But with Toni Kroos and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/my-home-forever-luka-modric-farewell-real-madrid-last-game-los-blancos-club-world-cup/blt17a396c7edb76669" target="_blank">Luka Modric</a> both gone, and Ceballos still not featuring heavily, the writing appears to be on the wall. Los Blancos' midfield already includes rising stars like Arda Guler, Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde, who are all ahead of Ceballos in Alonso’s rotation. Despite squad depth needs, Madrid might cash in if Betis can present a viable offer.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to the media in Seville, the midfielder said: "I'm already on vacation after a long season. Everything's fine. It's an important topic for me, but we'll talk about my future in a few weeks.&nbsp;Betis was my home and always will be."</p><p>He added: "I hope the door is always open. I haven't spoken to them yet. Well, we're open to everything."</p>

WHAT CEBALLOS SAID?

<p>The Spaniard is set to weigh his options over the summer break, while Betis must assess whether they can afford a transfer fee for the 28-year-old. Los Blancos are expected to be open to negotiations, particularly with Alonso aiming to build a younger midfield. A final decision could come before the start of preseason, with talks likely to accelerate in late July.</p>
