Dani Ceballos expresses regret over choice words toward Zidane | OneFootball

Dani Ceballos has been rumoured to leave Real Madrid this summer despite arriving from Real Betis just two years ago.

However, the 22-year-old has no intention on departing just yet.

Speaking to the press on Thursday, the midfielder affirmed his commitment to Los Blancos and claims he’ll do all he can to be a success at the club.

“Right now I’m only focused on the National Team and I’m a Real Madrid player,” said Ceballos.

“I don’t know what will happen tomorrow. I’m an ambitious guy, I’ve got a four-year deal and an expensive release clause.

“My goal is to succeed in Real Madrid and I think I will achieve it.”

The 22-year-old then expressed regret over some choice words he said about Zidane back in March, when he complained about his lack of playing time.

“My relationship with Zidane is good. He’s always been clear to be. I knew that I had players like Modric, Kroos or Kovacic ahead of me and that didn’t allow me to have the minutes I wanted.

“He never told me I was going to play more.

“I won’t tell you what he said to me now because it’s private, but during his first tenure here he was very clear.

“Maybe the words I said about Zidane were not the right ones.”

Ceballos featured 34 times for Real Madrid in all competitions last season but made just one appearance in the final two months of the season.
