Dani Ceballos, a midfielder who will turn 30 years old on Friday, August 7th, remains without a team after terminating his last year of contract with Real Madrid. The player rejected a proposal from Ajax Amsterdam because his priority is to return as a Real Betis player, although the club from Seville currently does not have the salary cap available to register him.

Ceballos is willing to reduce the approximately 5 million euros net per season he earned in Madrid. The issue is not just reaching an economic agreement: Betis needs to free up salary space before incorporating a player who would arrive as a free agent.

Dani Ceballos maintains his priority for Real Betis

Real Betis does not plan to place Ceballos at the top of the salary scale within the team. The player has accepted this condition and would be willing to return earning less, but the club cannot currently afford even half of what he earned at Real Madrid.

The midfielder has been away from Heliópolis for nine years. He left for the white club in 2017 and concluded his period in Madrid this summer after playing 215 matches and winning 16 titles, including three Champions League trophies and two La Liga championships.

Dani Ceballos' willingness has halted other possibilities. Ajax Amsterdam offered him more than what Betis could, but he turned it down while waiting for the Seville club to find an economic solution.

The Dutch club eventually pursued a different path and signed Julian Brandt as a free agent. This development diminishes the chances of Ajax reactivating the operation, although Ceballos continues to receive proposals from other European leagues and the Middle East.

Sales condition the incorporation in La Liga

Ceballos recently changed agencies and is now represented by Lian Sports, a company directed by Fali Ramadani. His new representatives are promoting his candidacy in various markets due to the lack of concrete progress with Betis.

The Betis executives have asked the agency to keep them informed before any definitive move is made. The club wants to retain the option to sign him but needs to secure a sale to increase its registration scope before the market closes.

One of the situations affecting the planning is that of Nelson Deossa. Betis has not yet found a solution for the Colombian midfielder, an operation that would reduce the wage bill and generate resources for new acquisitions.

Currently, the focus is not on the midfield in terms of sporting priority. The team is looking for a forward, on loan or for a transfer, to strengthen the attack before their return to the Champions League, a competition they will participate in after 21 years.

A sale would change the scenario with Ceballos

A sale of Natan, valued internally at about 25 million euros, or Ez Abde could also alter the situation. The winger has a 60 million release clause, although the club might consider offers around 50 million to finance multiple reinforcements.

Dani Ceballos will continue to wait for Real Betis as long as there is room to free up salary space. However, as weeks go by and offers managed by Ramadani come in, the player will have to make a decision if the club does not finalize a sale before the transfer window closes.
