Dani Ceballos watches the Bernabéu match with Betis in mind

The Bernabéu played host to Real Madrid vs Málaga, finishing 4-0, but the stands also had a familiar face: Dani Ceballos. The midfielder attended the match and went along with his partner and their two daughters, with the moment captured and shared on Instagram.

As Mundo Deportivo reports, Ceballos left Real Madrid this summer and is now looking for a new club. The paper adds that he has received offers, but he is waiting for Real Betis.

Offers, with Betis as priority

So this isn’t a deal that’s been confirmed yet—it’s a step in the market where the player weighs options while keeping an eye on the Betis route. With the transfer window moving, Ceballos has other possibilities available, though his preference appears to be the verdiblancos.

On the personal side, his presence at the Bernabéu also felt more like a family outing than a football-related first step elsewhere. His partner’s Instagram post included a line about it being “the first match” for the kids, underlining that he was there as a spectator rather than representing any new team at that moment.

What matters next is whether Betis can move from interest to a concrete agreement in the coming days, or whether timing pushes Ceballos toward another of the offers he already has.
