Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane insists Dani Ceballos is in his plans.

The midfielder has ruled out a return to Real Betis in recent days.

Zidane stated: "He's happy and is pleased to be here. The most important thing in this is my player and I'm not going to give my opinion about what others say.

"I've spoken to him and he's told me many times that he's happy. He must be focused on what he's doing and concentre on being here. He's the present and the future of Real Madrid despite not playing much."
