On deadline day, Real Betis are working against the clock to bring Dani Ceballos back nine years on, but exits are needed first.

Diario de Sevilla reports that the deal structure has been settled, with indications he would sign until 2029 on a rising salary with performance-related add-ons.

The most advanced departures are Gonzalo Petit, already confirmed on loan to Cádiz, Iker Losada, who has up to four proposals, and Álvaro Fidalgo, whose exit is being worked on. Nelson Deossa and Giovanni Lo celso are, for now, refusing to leave.

Ceballos posted on Instagram from a chapel, praying for a return to the club he loves, adding, ‘confío en ti, Dios’.

Sporting director Manu Fajardo has left major business to the end to avoid missteps and to squeeze the market, aiming to shape a squad fit for Betis’s season.

If another signing becomes possible, the focus would be a pivot, a role Manuel Pellegrini has repeatedly requested. Amrabat was an example under consideration, but he has joined Ajax.
