He came through the academy at the Estadio Benito Villamarin and made just short of 100 appearances for the first team in Seville. Ceballos was then never properly afforded a chance to start regularly in Madrid. This was of course due to the generational talent already in the middle of the park: Casemiro, Toni Kroos and Luka Modric.<\/p>\n<p>A loan move to England saw him play in London for Arsenal. Ceballos was again unable to establish himself as a regular. His time with the Gunners didn\u2019t last all that long and, to rub salt into the wounds, Martin Odegaard has become an integral part of <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/04\/08\/mikel-arteta-patrick-vieiras-shadow\/\" target=\"_self\">Mikel Arteta&#8217;s<\/a> team. Where one Real Madrid midfielder failed to cement himself in the North London XI, another is thriving.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Betis director Cord\u00f3n: \u201cCeballos is desperate to join Betis.

They won the Copa del Rey this season, beating Valencia in the final and it was a strong La Liga campaign too. Ceballos would join the likes of Nabil Fekir, Sergio Canales and William Carvalho in a very technical midfield. He would surely, only add to that.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Possible Real Madrid Stay<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The official line from Betis director Cordon the Real Madrid midfielder is as follows: \u201cCeballos is desperate to join Betis. But he\u2019s a Real Madrid player, so I can\u2019t say more.\u201d There hasn\u2019t been any huge talk beyond this on the player\u2019s future with no other clubs being heavily linked.<\/p>\n<p>Ceballos of course has a history with <em>Los Verdiblancos<\/em> and he played some of his best football there, hence the move to the Bernabeu. He has been in Madrid for a number of years but hasn\u2019t amassed all that many appearances. If he desires to play football regularly, this rumoured transfer makes a lot of sense for all parties.<\/p>\n<p>There could be a lot of transfer business surrounding the La Liga champions. They <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/05\/21\/kylian-mbappe-staying-paris-saint-germain\/\" target=\"_self\">missed out on Kylian Mbappe<\/a> and meanwhile Marcelo will be leaving after several years of sustained success there. Ceballos is another whose future is up in the air.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Less than 24 hours have passed since Real Madrid lifted yet another Champions League title.
