Although he was likely to wait until the summer to leave Real Madrid, he could do so sooner
At Real Madrid, it is very clear which players are important to Carlo Ancelotti and which are not, on almost every line of the pitch, and the midfield is no exception. With Casemiro gone, Choameni has secured his proper position, while Kroos and Modric remain untouched at home
In addition, there is the case of Fede Valverde, who, either as a midfield player or as a winger on the right side, displays his moment of unparalleled brilliance. Behind them is already emerging Eduardo Camavinga, and Dani Ceballos is still in last place in the list of midfielders
Leaving is the only solution for Dani Ceballos at Real Madrid
Andalusian fails to change his role with Carlo Ancelotti. And as soon as the last season ended, the Italian coach promised him publicly and privately that he would have more opportunities this season, after he had worked very well and quietly over the past year, but that was not the case. His promises remained in words, and the only solution left for Ceballos was to find a way out. He knows that if he waits until the summer, he will be a free player and he will be able to go for free to Betis, the club of his heart, which he has been waiting for so long to win again
This was the plan that seemed the most logical to all parties involved. But the World Cup pause did not come at the best time for Real Betis although in the Europa League they finished first in the group ahead of Roma, they have won one of their last five league matches. They are sixth, level on points with fourth-placed Athletic Bilbao, but having been in the champions’ spots throughout the start of the tournament, there is little disappointment
Betis needs him before the end of the season
After they return from the World Cup, they will have to compete in three competitions at the same time, with the fourth being the Spanish Super Cup due in March, and there may not be much depth in the squad in this position. With William Carvalho and Guido Rodriguez as starters in the double axle, there are other options like veteran Guardado and Paul Accuco. This is why Real Madrid is awaiting an offer from Real Betis in this winter market
They realize that it will be a very low offer, since the economic situation of Betis is not good, and besides, they can get him for free in a few months
Signing Ceballos in January could mean an excellent jump in quality and a risky bet for the second half of the season, with the clear aim of exhausting the qualification options for the next edition of the Champions League
