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.
