However, the player will stay one more year on loan at his club, so he could enjoy more minutes in La Liga and grow up as a player. Los Blancos will sign a long contract, so they can tie up one of the best youngsters in the Spanish football.
Dani Ceballos is playing with the Spanish national team the European Championship Under 21 and he has helped the team to reach the final against Germany. Borja Mayoral, Jesús Vallejo, Marcos Llorente or Marcos Asensio are other Real Madrid players in the great squad.

Dani Ceballos is the best footballer at Betis. He played 31 games this season, scoring two goals in La Liga. He had problems to be in the line-up with Gustavo Poyet, but he ended up playing all the minutes with Víctor Sánchez del Amo and becoming one of the best youngsters of the tournament.
