The renewal of Luka Modric for a year and the signing of Tchouameni, which is about to become official, make it difficult for Ceballos to continue at Real Madrid. His objective is to play and be important.
In the final stretch of this season, under Ancelotti, the former Arsenal player played some minutes, even in the Champions League. However his participation was quite limited and the Andalusian's intention is to move to a project where he will be one of the key players.
Ancelotti knows that if he continues he will get some minutes, but 'Los Blancos' midfield is complete with Casemiro, Kroos, Modric, Camavinga, Valverde and the Frenchman Tchouameni, who is getting closer.
According to 'Mundo Deportivo', Real Madrid will put Ceballos on the transfer market if he does not renew his contract, which expires in June 2023. It is a similar case to Marco Asensio, who could leave the Bernabeu this summer.
Ceballos' intention would be to leave the club and head to the team of his life, Betis. However, 'Los Verdiblancos' are unable to pay the 15 million euros demanded by the Spanish capital, so there will be negotiations for the Andalusian.
