What happened: Dani Ceballos was left out of Real Madrid's squad for the visit to Real Betis due to a technical decision by coach Arbeloa. The midfielder is expected to leave the club this summer. Ajax and two other sides have shown interest with proposals in planning.

Why it matters: Ceballos's omission underscores his uncertain future after eight years as a bench player at Madrid, including loans. His departure could allow Real Madrid to refresh midfield depth ahead of next season. Interest from multiple clubs signals ongoing market for the 29-year-old.

What to watch: Watch for formal transfer proposals and Ceballos's next destination this summer.
