Real Betis and Dani Ceballos, the seemingly eternal flirt. The Real Madrid midfielder has been linked a number of times with a return to his youth club. Los Verdiblancos even came over for him last summer, but will not do so again in January.
This is according to Diario AS, who note that not only do Real Madrid now want to keep Ceballos for the rest of the season, but that Betis cannot afford the move either. However, Real Madrid's position will change again in the summer: if Ceballos can put a sufficient offer (15 million euros) on the table, they will consider accepting it.
It was recently revealed that Betis need €20 million in turnover to simply get back within their salary cap this season. Ceballos, Isco and Betis president Angel Haro have all hinted at a potential return in recent months, but that has been pretty consistent in recent years. Betis did make an offer in the summer, but it more than met Real Madrid's requirements.
