Dani Ceballos will stay at Arsenal until the end of the season after his loan from Real Madrid was extended.
When he returns from north London in August, the midfielder knows that his future at Los Blancos relies on who is in charge.
If Zinedine Zidane is still in the job next season, Ceballos will have to leave - the club and the player himself know that.
Ceballos wants to play and be important in the team, and that's not going to happen if Zidane remains the coach.
Real Madrid are making contingency plans for the Spaniard, whose moves away from the club last summer had been scuppered by problems with agents.
Finding a buyer for Ceballos won't be too much of a problem for Real Madrid as the player has a good reputation across Europe.
The former Real Betis player has often impressed more with his national team than his clubs in the past two seasons.
Last summer, Ceballos was a key figure in Spain's triumph at the European Under-21 Championship in Italy.
Valencia remain interested in signing the 23-year-old and tried to bring him to Mestalla in January without success.

A player who wants to play for Madrid wasting minutes at Arsenal instead of proving to the world a team doesn't make a player a player makes a team, Ronaldo, Messi, Dr Bruyne thats a good example, look at all the greats they don't need a great team

Future? [Crylaugh] He needs to look elsewhere, The only on loan midfielder with a possible future at Madrid is Odegarrd.

With Zidani, he will never get the chance to play. Zinedine is impatient with players and I think this is a very bad side of him.
Which Madrid coach has ever been patient? Madrid demands result. Copa del Rey was supposed to be used for helping players who are out of form, but we've been knocked out. You can't experiment with la Liga or UCL

...you could literally find Marcelo in the first XI at the first few games at the beggining. Plus he was injured midway of course he won't be featured in many of the matchs. And i don't see a difference at all. Same old rotation. Tho I wanna know what you found out about what the squad was like.
16 games. Though he had injuries... But I remembered Marcelo had his share of Zidane's interpersonal relationship with Marcelo this season. Cheers Bro. Madrid is actually my 2nd team

hmm, I don't know about that. Zidane rotates his players quite often. He gave isco many chances. And if you look at it Isco is mostly played in big games (Exp:PSG, Man City, Barcelona). Sike he plays Bale knowing full well about their relationship. And what do you mean he pushed Marcelo away? The guy literally plays more often than Mendy and also in big games. This is not about impatience, it's about rotation. And that's normal for a team with Big squad like madrid. He wants to win games but he also wants all his players involve so not all of them will be given fair amount of playtime.
You are a Madrid fan and trust me, I wont argue, but remembered Marcelo never started with him upon his return. He was reduced to the bench. Team rotation is beautiful most especially when you have a big squad. Let's take a look at the beginning of the season, and now... What was the squad like?

If Cebellos is as good as Marco Lorente, he would have been sold for a long time or have a position in Madrid lineup.
