Arsenal star Dani Ceballos has dropped a further hint on his loan spell at the club.
He had already given some idea of where it was headed back in the beginning of the month after football had stoped.
“I finish my contract on June 30 but I would have to [continue to] play for Arsenal [when football returns]. I don’t know how [that would work with his loan technically having finished],” he told El Chiringuito de Jugones.
“It would be irresponsible from my side to talk about my future. The most important thing will be to be important for my new team.
“I came to Arsenal to be an important player but in the last month that all disappeared [due to coronavirus stopping football].”
“I knew about Valencia’s interest in having my services. There was also talk of Sevilla and Betis,” he added.
“When they connect you with these teams it is for a reason. I am very Betis and it would be difficult for me to play for Sevilla.
“I would only play for Betis, it is my team and the one that gave me the opportunity to be a footballer. I did not get to speak with Julen Lopetegui to sign for Sevilla.”
He has now given more information on his future. It would seem to add more confusion.
“When I was at Valdebebas two or three months ago, he told me he was following the Premier League, that he had seen me play and that he was happy I was getting the minutes I hadn’t had previously,” he told DAZN (h/t Standard Sport).
“My relationship with him is healthy. He always told me I was like him; that I was a player who needed to play a lot of games in order to play at a high rhythm. He has always said that my future is at Real Madrid and that I should be patient because it’s possible I’ll have an opportunity.”
