Real Betis eye Dani Ceballos return and consider Gonzalo Petit as striker

Free‑agent midfielder Dani Ceballos, who left Real Madrid, posted a solo training video on social media saying he is "hungry more than ever" and ready for the next step. Real Betis have made him their top target and are negotiating terms, with the club willing to meet his wage demands while keeping the deal within financial limits. Interest from Ajax has been reported, but Betis remain the priority for a potential return to the Andalusian side.

Betis are also focused on strengthening their forward line for the upcoming season. They are evaluating 19‑year‑old Uruguayan striker Gonzalo Petit, who impressed with his size and goal‑scoring at Granada, as a possible third striker. The club will assess him during preseason and consider non‑EU squad‑slot rules, with loan options also on the table.
