A future at Real Madrid looks unlikely for the midfielder but he will talk with Zidane before making any decision.

The Spanish midfielder has been one of most used players by Arteta since the former Arsenal playmaker  took over Unai Emery in December. Ceballos has been linked a move back to his boyhood club Real Betis.

‘The owner of my future next year is me,’ Ceballos told El Larguero.

‘Next year I want to play and I will hardly be able to do it at Real Madrid.

‘If I would return with Zidane? I have to make the decision. He told me this year that the best thing was for me to leave and get experience. ‘Everyone makes their decisions and they must be respected, I have nothing to attribute to him because he has always been very clear with me. ‘Betis? It is an option. I do not close the door to play in any club. ‘I do not rule out continuing in the Premier [League].

Ceballos felt motivated playing under Arteta, who he has thoroughly enjoyed working under at Arsenal.

‘The coach plays a game very similar to what [Manchester] City is trying to do and I think we make a game philosophy that is difficult for the rival to fit in,’ he added. ‘He does not talk about anecdotes with Pep [Guardiola] but it shows in his training, I have learned a lot about soccer in a different way. ‘It is a luxury to be able to learn from a coach with these qualities.’

Ceballos is on loan at Arsenal until the end of the season and his Madrid contract runs out in 2023.
