Turmoil is brewing inside Real Madrid. According to reports from Marca, Dani Ceballos and his coach, Álvaro Arbeloa, have completely broken their relationship after a tense conversation this Thursday, during which the midfielder reportedly asked not to speak with him again for the remainder of the season.

The issue began after Dani Ceballos suffered an injury that kept him out for several weeks. He missed five LaLiga matches and three UEFA Champions League games. However, once he was medically cleared and available again, he was not considered for the tie against Bayern, nor for league matches against Girona, Alavés, and Betis. He did not even travel to Sevilla, which further increased his frustration.

Broken Relationship and Imminent Exit

This situation deeply upset the midfielder, who requested a direct conversation with Álvaro Arbeloa to understand his role within the team. According to the report, that is when everything exploded. The discussion did not end well, and the relationship between the two is now completely fractured. The player’s camp believes there is no turning back.

The report also states that Dani Ceballos will not play again for Real Madrid this season, and his departure from the club now appears increasingly likely. He is under contract until 2027, but a transfer seems convenient for both parties, especially after the strain caused by this situation.

He has no shortage of options. Teams like Marseille have shown interest, and even a return to Betis appears as an attractive alternative for the player. His market value has reportedly dropped to seven million euros, a figure that could facilitate any negotiation.

This season, he has played just 22 matches, only seven as a starter. It is one of the least active campaigns of his career. Last season, he played 45 matches and, although he was not an undisputed starter, he was still one of the most frequently used players under Carlo Ancelotti.

Dani Ceballos has reached his limit, and his relationship with Álvaro Arbeloa has ended in the worst possible way. In this tense final stretch of the season, everything points to the midfielder being sidelined, with his future lying away from the Santiago Bernabéu.
