The story between Dani Ceballos and Real Betis could be about to live its most exciting chapter.

The midfielder from Utrera, currently with Real Madrid, would have decided to take a firm step towards what he has always considered his "home," rejecting an economically irresistible offer for many players: a multi-year contract in Saudi Arabia. However, for Ceballos, money has not weighed as much as the desire to wear the Real Betis shirt again.

The relationship between the player and the Heliópolis club is not new. Since his departure to Real Madrid in 2017, his name has appeared in the Betis realm on more than one occasion, especially in recent transfer windows. There was always a feeling that a return was possible, but circumstances, priorities, and figures prevented it from materializing. This time, the situation seems different.

Ceballos has conveyed to his surroundings that he is willing to do whatever is necessary to facilitate the operation, even adjusting his salary to fit Real Betis' possibilities. The player, who has already won titles with Real Madrid, seems to be seeking something more personal now: a sports project where he can be a protagonist and, above all, reunite with the fans who saw him grow.

At Real Madrid, his role has been somewhat relegated, with strong competition in midfield and a position that, although valuable for rotation, does not guarantee continuity. At 28 years old and with a long career ahead, Ceballos feels that now is the ideal time to turn things around and prioritize the heart over the wallet.

Real Madrid is asking for between 10-12 million for Dani Ceballos.

The white club, on the other hand, would not frown upon his departure if a reasonable offer comes in. The figures being handled at the club range between 10 and 12 million euros, a price within reach for a player of his quality and experience.

In Heliópolis, the excitement is evident. Coach Manuel Pellegrini particularly values Ceballos' profile: a midfielder with vision, association skills, elite experience, and a deep understanding of the club and its environment. His arrival would fit perfectly into a Real Betis looking to strengthen the midfield for a season where they will once again fight for Europe.

Beyond the sporting aspect, Ceballos's return would have a strong sentimental impact on the fans. It's not common for a player developed in the youth academy, who made the leap to a European giant, to decide to return in his prime and turn down economically more lucrative offers. Such decisions nurture the sense of belonging and strengthen the bond between player and stands.

The negotiation, however, will not be simple. Although the player's intention is clear and Betis's interest is on the table, Real Madrid will not yield at any price and aims to maximize the benefit of the operation. Moreover, the market is constantly evolving, and it cannot be ruled out that other European clubs may try to lure Ceballos with competitive projects and superior financial offers.

In any case, the message left by the Utrera native is clear: his priority is to return to the Benito Villamarín. This desire has not only been conveyed privately but is also reflected in his recent decisions, such as rejecting the experience in Saudi Arabia, where the league has become a common destination for renowned players seeking lucrative contracts.

Meanwhile, the Betis fans dream of seeing Ceballos leading the midfield again.

If the signing is finally confirmed, Dani Ceballos would not only return to his footballing home but would do so with a clear message: sometimes, love for a club's colors weighs more than any figure. In a football increasingly marked by economic interests, this gesture would be a reminder that there are still players who prioritize sentiment, identity, and the desire to belong to something greater than themselves.
