November month. Dani Ceballos is at the Benito Villamarín stadium for a Betis match. The green and white club has William Carvalho and Marc Roca injured. During the match, Johnny Cardoso has to be substituted and Pellegrini leaves Altimira alone in that position as he only has the youth squad Mateo on the bench as an option. It is one of the reasons why Betis does not reaffirm its deserved victory against Celta. And the midfielder is one of the positions in which Betis is looking for alternatives to sign in the January market. A circle repeated in the most recent windows that always ends at the same point: Dani Ceballos. The midfielder took advantage of his trip to Seville to see the construction of his new house in Utrera and came to watch the match accompanied by his partner, Luna Serrat , granddaughter of the famous singer-songwriter and recent Princess of Asturias Award winner. He did it in a private box in the Gol Sur stands in a process facilitated by the green and white club itself. Before, he could be seen with his car entering the Benito Villamarín parking lot and the most experienced people were able to cheer him on. The same thing happened on the way out and he took photos with several fans. The club was fully aware of the visit. Ceballos has seen Betis live on several occasions in these seasons, including the 2022 Cup final, in addition to the messages and posts he has published on social networks with green hearts and motivating phrases. These winks from Ceballos have been part of a courtship that does not quite bear fruit in the relationship. The 28-year-old youth player is not having space at Real Madrid, previously due to an ankle injury and now because he barely counts for Ancelotti. In fact, the game in which he has played the most this season was against Betis on matchday three. And he has only had 108 between LaLiga, Champions and Super Cup. A very poor background for their expectations after the retirement of Kroos, the decline in Modric’s performance and the injuries of Tchouameni or Camavinga in different phases of the course in addition to the irregular results of the white team, which should have opened the doors more for ownership but it is something that is not happening. The contacts between the leaders of Betis and Ceballos are continuous in this scenario given that the midfielder is one of the positions that the club intends to reinforce in the January market. The Verdiblancos always want to be well positioned in the event that Ceballos can leave, as they already did in the summer but everything was frustrated at the last minute and the one who returned was Lo Celso. Ceballos is still not completely clear if Betica’s bet is not overwhelming and Heliópolis is not willing to put a significant amount on the table to recover him, with Madrid asking for more than ten million for his services. Joaquín and Manu Fajardo have direct line with Ceballos and contact is permanent. Not only did the Utrerano’s visit to Villamarín take place with the club being aware of his presence, helping him to locate himself in the private box, but Joaquín and Fajardo were also at the Bernabéu a few days ago watching Madrid-Milán in the Champions League and there was I find the same way. Betis is going to try, especially being aware that William Carvalho’s absence is until the end of the season and that a good opportunity to incorporate him slipped away in August due to Ancelotti’s refusal to lose more players and the price requested by the player. Madrid, high for Betic possibilities. Then Lo Celso arrived at that location. Now the door remains ajar and in Heliópolis they are probing to see if there is an option. However, to date the contacts have been unsuccessful and at this moment the indicated parties point out that the situation is complicated for Ceballos to be a winter reinforcement for Betis. There are still weeks to see what will happen. Pellegrini’s men will recover Isco between December and January and there the order of the team’s needs can change a lot, although at the moment only Marc Roca, who has been injured for weeks, is from the first team in that area, Altimira and Johnny Cardoso, who is the most valuable player on the squad. The youth squad Mateo is playing a few minutes covering the absences. It is clear that the midfielder, along with the center back and the right winger, is one of the positions that Betis would reinforce if the options fit with their financial situation, next January. We will see what the club ultimately does, but Ceballos is always an option in this eternal courtship for his return.
