Arsenal loanee Dani Ceballos 'refusing to return to Real Madrid'

Dani Ceballos reportedly has no intention of returning to Real Madrid next season, providing that Zinedine Zidane is still in charge of the Spanish giants.

Due to only being regarded as a bit-part player at the Bernabeu, Ceballos was allowed to sign for Arsenal on a season-long loan deal.

However, the Gunners do not have the option of automatically pushing through a permanent deal for the Spain international in the summer.

Nevertheless, AS claims that Ceballos does not want to play under Zidane, aware that he is unlikely to be provided with regular game time at Los Blancos.

The 23-year-old has been provided with nine starts and seven substitute appearances in all competitions since moving to the Emirates Stadium.

Ceballos still has over three-and-a-half years left on his contract at Madrid.
