Dani Ceballos says he's not seeking charity from Real Madrid over new contract talks.

The midfielder, who's deal expires in June, says he only wants a new agreement if Real intend to play him.

He said on Jorge Valdano's programme: “I want to play soccer and be judged by my level on the pitch. I don't want a renewal if I don't deserve it or go to another club if I don't deserve it.

"I want to enjoy. Three months? I want to play them and when I'm done meet with my agent, with my family and value the best, but I don't want the best contract. I want the people, the board and the club to decide if I am valid or not for them.

"Now the most important thing is to focus on day to day, taking advantage of whatever minutes it is and showing people that I want to continue playing for Real Madrid."
