Nabil Fekir's move to UAE club Al-Jazira, which was confirmed on Friday, he made a big signing from Real Betis before the summer transfer window closes. Finally they settled on Giovani Lo Celsowho returns to the club five years after leaving for Tottenham Hotspur.
Lo Celso was not the only midfielder targeted by Betis, as they also wanted Dani Ceballos back. The Spain international was also interested in the move, and earlier in the week, told Real Madrid of his desire to leave before the Friday deadline.
However, Los Blancos did not make it easy, and Relevo say that only an offer of 15 million euros would have been accepted. In the end, Betis could only reach 7 million euros, much to the disappointment of Ceballos, who had been on personal terms with Los Verdiblancos.
Ceballos was disappointed with his role at Real Madrid in the last 12 months, so he looked for an exit. It remains to be seen if his minutes will pick up on the back of this setback, especially with Jude Bellingham and Eduardo Camavinga currently injured.
