Dani Ceballos wants to return to be a player of Real Betis and keeps them as the first option to continue his career, but his representatives are already working on two parallel negotiations due to the lack of salary margin of the Verdiblanco team. The Spanish midfielder, who has just turned 30 years old, is still awaiting a reaction from the club in this final stretch of the market.

Ceballos is a free agent after ending his spell at Real Madrid, and his desire remains to return to the team where he was formed. However, Betis still needs to free up salary space before being able to afford his signing, with the immediate priority being to bring in a center forward.

Dani Ceballos explores two paths while waiting for Real Betis

The new representation agency of Dani Ceballos does not want to reach the market closure without alternatives. According to information from Seville, his agents are keeping two additional options open while waiting for Real Betis to generate the necessary financial space to make a proposal.

The Verdiblanco club is aware of these movements and has requested the player's entourage to inform them of any progress before committing to another team. The intention is to maintain a small margin for reaction if any of those negotiations reach a definitive stage.

The player's willingness continues to favor Betis. Ceballos has prioritized returning to Heliópolis during the summer and even previously passed on the opportunity with Ajax, which withdrew from the race due to the lack of a positive response from the midfielder.

The issue remains financial. Ceballos was earning around 5 million euros net per season at Real Madrid, and Betis cannot get close to those amounts with their current situation, although the player would be willing to accept a reduction to facilitate his return to LaLiga.

Sales determine the return to Spain

Real Betis' plan initially involved signing a center forward first and then considering the possibility of Dani Ceballos' transfer. That roadmap depends on creating space within the salary cap through exits that, so far, have not occurred at the expected rate.

One of the names that could have freed up space was Nelson Deossa, but his departure has not materialized. There was also the option of generating income with Giovani Lo Celso, although the Argentine has shown no intention of considering offers to leave the team.

This situation has limited Betis' room for maneuver as time runs out to close the market. In addition to Ceballos, the club needs to solve its center forward position, which has now taken the top priority in the sports planning.

The player is familiar with the club: he came through their youth academy and played three seasons with the first team before moving to Real Madrid in 2017. He then spent two seasons on loan at Arsenal before returning to Spain and re-establishing himself in the Madrid squad.

The upcoming decisions will be determined by the outgoings. If Real Betis manages to free up enough salary space after securing the center forward, they will be able to pursue Dani Ceballos' return. If they fail, the two alternative negotiations led by his representatives may result in his departure before the market closes.
