Report: Atletico Madrid want Dani Ceballos

Atletico Madrid are reportedly interested in signing Real Betis midfielder Dani Ceballos.

The 20-year-old was linked with a move away from Betis in the summer transfer window, but decided to remain in Seville after talks with head coach Gus Poyet.

Atletico are currently unable to sign any new players until 2018 due to their transfer ban, but according to various reports in Spain, the Madrid giants have prioritised the signing of the Spain Under-21 international.

Ceballos, who joined Betis in 2011 before making his first-team debut in 2014, only signed a new long-term contract at the Benito Villamarin earlier this month.
