Barcelona spoke with the player on Thursday night
Real Madrid have given him 24 hours to decide his future
Real Madrid and FC Barcelona are waiting for the final decision of Dani Ceballos, Real Betis central midfielder, who is in fashion after his performances at the U21 Euros.
Doubts exist. During the night there were rumours that the player had chosen to move to Madrid, but Barcelona did not believe that was the case.
The Catalan club’s representatives spoke personally with him and people who represent him on Thursday night.
Madrid have not taken Barcelona’s moves well, because they already took for granted that Ceballos would join them.
The player has asked for more time to think about his decision and Madrid do not like this reticence. At the Bernabeu they think that if Madrid come calling for you, there should be no doubts about your decision.
Madrid have, per some sources, given him 24 hours to decide, trying to avoid the deal becoming a bartering issue where the sides battle it out to see who can pay more.
Betis are obliged to sell if an offer about nine million euros arrives. The company Bahia International have a percentage of any sale. His release fee clause is 15 million euros, a true bargain considering the quality of the player and other market prices elsewhere.
