Today at the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium, the 20-year-old newcomer Dani Ceballos was presented as the promising young talent of Spanish football for Madrid's "Real" team.
Last week, "Real" confirmed that D. Ceballos will join their ranks for 18 million euros. Today, the footballer underwent a medical examination and officially signed a six-year contract.
At a press conference, D. Ceballos confirmed that he had the opportunity to wear the Barcelona team's jersey, but when the offer came from "Real," the Spaniard decided without hesitation to move to the Spanish capital.
"It's a huge honor to wear the "Real" team's jersey," - said the midfielder. - "I know that there is a lot of competition in this team, but I am young and determined to learn from the best to prove to the coach that I am worthy of playing."
"I faced family pressure when I had to choose a team, but my desire was always to be in the "Real" club. You can only receive an offer from such a club once in a lifetime, so as soon as I found out that I had the opportunity, I didn't hesitate for long."
"In Madrid, I will learn from the best. I want to reach the level of Kroos and Modric one day. Being young, I came here to work hard and prove that I am worthy of wearing this team's jersey," - concluded the "Real Betis" product.
This summer, "Real" only added two players for money - D. Ceballos and Theo Hernandez. However, it is known that next season, two more Spaniards returning from loans - Jesus Vallejo and Marcos Llorente will compete in the main team.
