Real Betis are keen to re-sign Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos.
Marca says Ceballos has failed to make an impact for Real Madrid, instead finding success for Spain.
The 25-year-old was at the heart of Spain's European Under-21 Championship win in 2019 and won a silver medal with La Roja at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, where he picked up an ankle injury.
Now, having overcome this injury, he will be looking to make his first Real Madrid appearance since April 28, 2019, when he played under Zinedine Zidane against Rayo Vallecano.
Ceballos has been often linked with a return to Betis, but it looks like his move will not come in the January transfer window.
Betis coach Manuel Pellegrini has already said that he does not want any movements, either in or out, during the window.
Ceballos' former side are enjoying a great first half to the season, entering 2022 in third position in LaLiga Santander.
The situation also suits Real Madrid, who will be looking to offload the player come the end of the campaign as he does not look to be in Carlo Ancelotti's plans for the rest of the season.
Ceballos enters the final year of his contract in summer 2022.
