Real Madrid and the player Dani Ceballos have agreed to renew the midfielder from Utrera until 2027. A renewal that has been a long time coming and has had many ups and downs during the season, but finally the player will continue his career dressed in white.
A long-awaited renovation at the same time expensive
Throughout the season, the name of Dani Ceballos has been on the table. This is because the Utrerano contract ended on June 30 and Real Madrid wanted his continuity. Although, Ceballos was not very convinced, because he doubted what his role would be in the team next season.
In the first months of the year Ancelotti did not count on him much and that meant that Ceballos was not very sure whether to continue in the team or look for opportunities abroad. Although, the situation changed from January. The midfielder began to participate more in the game and even started games, he was also called up to the national team and played a key role in important games such as the Copa del Rey round of 16 against Villarreal, in which he scored the winning goal.
The arrival of Bellingham has also been a stumbling block
He Real Madrid announced the arrival of Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund. The 19-year-old Englishman is one of the promises of current football. He plays as a midfielder, which means one more player in the midfield of the Real Madridwhich has up to 7 players for four positions.
For this reason, Ceballos would have once again seen his continuity in doubt.
Ancelotti and the support of the fans, decisive
In the final decision of Ceballos, Ancelotti had a great weight. Although, at the beginning of the season it seemed that he did not have him, the Italian coach has spoken with him on more than one occasion and would have promised him more prominence next season. He has played a total of 1939 in 46 games. Ceballos is Modric’s natural replacement, in fact Ancelotti has said so on more than one occasion. In addition, the Croatian, at 37, is facing what will probably be his last season in white.
On the other hand, the support of the fans has also been key. There have been several occasions on which Dani Ceballos has left the pitch with an ovation. Ceballos stay! It has been one of the most heard cries in the final stretch of the season and it seems that the player has paid attention.
