Dani Ceballos was reportedly eager to leave Real Madrid in August, but Real Betis couldn’t match Madrid’s asking price. According to Sport via Football Espana, both Real Betis and Real Sociedad have expressed interest in a loan deal for the 28-year-old for the remainder of the season.
Despite having played only 108 minutes this season, Real Madrid has no intention of letting Dani Ceballos leave. The club views him as a unique player who offers a different skill set compared to other midfield options. This decision comes even though Ceballos has been underutilized.

For Mbappe whose summer arrival to Real Madrid was believed to turn the club into a fiery force, reverse has been the case following his on and off field struggles.
Missing the international break last time out due to a fitness call, he has also been left out after questions of his performances and attitude this time around.
According to Relevo, Didier Deschamps’ decision to omit Kylian Mbappé from the French national team is primarily aimed at shielding the squad from the ongoing controversy surrounding the Real Madrid star.
Beyond his recent trip to Stockholm and his struggles at Real Madrid, public opinion in France is turning against Mbappé, particularly after his absence from the previous international break. Additionally, some believe he was unfairly given the captain’s armband over Antoine Griezmann, and reports suggest that AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan criticized his attitude in the dressing room in September.
