Barça will try by all means to get the services of Dani Ceballos (20 years), the fanciful media playwright of Betis. Although the Sevillian (Utrera, August 7, 1996) made headlines in 2015 after transcending some messages from him on Twitter of 2012 against the Catalans and players Piqué and Cesc (then culé), the club azulgrana prioritizes the facet sport. He also made others in which he showed his barcelonismo and anti-madridismo. That is history. He learned the lesson.
The termination clause of Dani Ceballos is currently only 15 million euros and the player is out of the job of leaving Betis this summer taking advantage of him have been interested in him top clubs, including Real Madrid, but also Barca . Marca said yesterday this Barça interest that MD could later confirm from club sources.
The fact is that Barca already had controlled Ceballos given his good performance this season, which has been worth to grow before the eyes of the great. At the UEFA European Under-21 Championship, which concluded yesterday, he has endorsed this good moment with great performances and taking the trophy to the Best Player of the Tournament (MVP). The contacts with the Real Betis by the sale of Cristian Tello to the green and white club have served for the club to return to be interested by Ceballos , knowing already that the soccer player had a very good offer of Real Madrid.
In parallel, from the club azulgrana has been working with the player, his environment and the agency that represents him, Bahia. This task of seduction has paid off, to the point that Barça has managed to block the signing by Real Madrid. With the footballer the positions are close but still have to finalize an agreement, which would be the key to close the signing. And is that in this operation there is no mystery: who convinces the player and is willing to pay his rescission clause (those 15 million that today are a bargain), will take the cat to the water.
To amend Asensio's
The situation today is that FC Barcelona is making an important effort from both the sports area and the board to convince a footballer to be considered a market opportunity. Barca coaches believe that Ceballos can take on the work of indoor with overflow, last pass and arrival, in the style of Andrés Iniesta.
In addition, his case recalls that of Marco Asensio , a player who escaped to Barca despite the fact that it cost very little money (less than five million) and that ended in Real Madrid. The Barça now wants to return the coin and get ahead with a young promise that seemed to be near the white club.
