Dani Ceballos's future at Real Madrid is reportedly hanging in the balance amid his struggles for game time.
The ex-Real Betis man has only made seven appearances in all competitions for Carlo Ancelotti's side this term, although his campaign has been hampered by a serious ankle injury.
Ceballos's deal is due to expire in the summer of 2023, though, and the 25-year-old continues to be linked with an exit despite Ancelotti affirming that he would play an important role in the second half of the season.
According to AS, a contract renewal with the capital giants now seems unlikely, and Real Madrid could now look to cash in on Ceballos ahead of the 2022-23 season.
The former Spain Under-23 international has been linked with a return to the Premier League with Crystal Palace following his two-year spell at Arsenal, but a return to Betis is now thought to be the most realistic option.
Ceballos only has 41 minutes of La Liga action under his belt this term and boasts a total of five goals and three assists in 63 games for Los Blancos.
