July 19th According to the "As" report, Real Madrid priced at least 20 million euros against Sebalis, and returning to Betis is the first choice for Spanish midfielders, but the situation is not clear.

Ceballos's whereabouts have once again become one of the focus of the transfer market this summer. Last Monday, he told the media on his holiday back to Seville: "I am open to everything." This sentence neither confirms that he will stay nor completely close other possibilities. He is weighing options, thinking and listening to opinions from all parties. Although he has a contract with Real Madrid and has a high salary, his lack of playing time has complicated his situation.

In the Club World Cup, Sebaslos only received 73 minutes of playing time, which is even less than Modric's 127 minutes. Considering the presence of players such as Valverde, Joan Améni, Bellingham, Guerre and Camavenga next season, it is even more difficult for Sebaslos to get playing time. Therefore, he did not rule out the possibility of leaving the team.

Betis has internal differences on whether to sign Sebalos. Some support his return, but others are also worried about his refusal to return in 2023 and renew his contract with Real Madrid for four years. In addition, salary issues are also a major obstacle. Betis believes that Sebalos' transfer fee should be between 5 million and 10 million euros, while Real Madrid insists on asking for at least 20 million euros. In addition, his annual salary is as high as 4 million euros (9 million euros before tax), which makes it unbearable for most La Liga clubs.

Betis did not completely rule out the possibility of a loan on Sebalos, but this was not an ideal choice for both sides. If Sebas leaves, it is almost certainly through a transfer. Currently, Real Madrid has not received any official offer for the Spanish midfielder, including Betis. However, the two sides did have contact and preliminary discussions.

Cebalos' dream of participating in the World Cup also influenced his decision. Although he has only played twice for the Spanish national team in the past five years, he firmly believes that if he has enough playing time, he will have the opportunity to compete in the 2026 World Cup. However, staying at Real Madrid is almost impossible for him to achieve this.

Real Madrid will not force Sebalos to leave, and the final decision is in the hands of the players. But if Sebas hopes to leave the team, the transfer fee is about 20 million euros and the salary problem needs to be solved.
