Spanish reports have revealed growing tension between Dani Ceballos and Real Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa after the midfielder was left out of the squad in recent matches.
According to reports citing Marca, the dispute escalated after a tense meeting between Ceballos and Arbeloa at Real Madrid's training complex, after which the player told teammates that the relationship with the coach had reached a dead end.
The reports suggest that Ceballos believes the issue has become personal and does not expect to feature again this season, despite continuing to train with the squad.
Ceballos is under contract with Real Madrid until 2027, but his future is now increasingly uncertain amid his reduced role and the breakdown in his relationship with the coaching staff.
The club is handling the situation carefully, while speculation over a potential summer exit continues to grow unless there is a sudden change in the coming weeks.
