Real Madrid are interested in signing Real Betis starlet Dani Ceballos, reports Marca.

The 19-year-old was one of the stars of Spain Under-19s’ recent European Championship-winning campaign, and his performances attracted interest from the likes of Arsenal and Juventus. Now Madrid, who have snapped up promising youth talent in the form of Marco Asensio and Martin Odegaard, also want to add Ceballos to their ranks.
The midfielder recently signed his first professional contract with Betis - it expires next year - and his current club insist that his buyout clause was raised from €3m to €12m when he put pen to paper. However, the player’s representatives believe it is still set at €3m.
According to Marca, there has been a rapprochement between Real Madrid and Ceballos over the past week. Madrid, in addition, are willing to loan Ceballos back to Betis for one or two seasons as part of the deal to sign him, while they would also send Asensio to the Seville-based club on a short-term basis too.
