Surprise! Real Madrid star announces departure after latest victory

Following Real Madrid's 3-0 win at Oviedo, Dani Ceballos unexpectedly posted a cryptic message on his personal Instagram, leading many to believe he is about to say farewell to Los Blancos.

Real Madrid secures another 3 points thanks to Kylian Mbappe's brace and a goal from Vinicius Junior, continuing their exciting start to the season. However, the highlight came from Dani Ceballos' words after the match. The Andalusian midfielder entered the game at the 86th minute to help control the play, and immediately after the match, he shared a photo with the caption “The final dance” accompanied by a thank you emoji. This is seen as a clear signal that he is about to leave Real Madrid.

Ceballos joined Real Madrid in 2017 from Real Betis after winning the European U21 Championship with Spain. Despite high expectations, he struggled to secure a place under Zidane and spent two seasons on loan at Arsenal. Upon returning, he was still not regularly utilized, but was valued by coach Carlo Ancelotti and signed a contract extension until 2027 in summer 2023.

However, the current situation is different. Before the match against Oviedo, coach Xabi Alonso stated: “I am satisfied with the current squad, but we always have to prepare for any changes”. This statement further fueled speculation about Ceballos' future.

The bond between Ceballos and Real Madrid seems to be coming to an end. In recent days, he has frequently appeared in media linked with Real Betis — his former club — and now the chance of reunion is higher than ever. Additionally, some clubs participating in next season’s Champions League have also reached out to secure the midfielder’s services.

Dani Ceballos arrived in Madrid as a promising young talent, but his career at Bernabéu never followed the expected path. His latest post resembles a farewell to Real Madrid fans. If he leaves before the summer transfer window closes, it is very likely that his next destination will be Real Betis, where he can regain his playing inspiration and a key role in the squad.

From a great hope, Dani Ceballos departs Real Madrid with regret, leaving behind the image of a gifted player who never truly found his place at Bernabeu. Now, his “final dance” in white may have come to an end.
