Report: Real Betis confident of Dani Ceballos extension

Real Betis are reportedly confident that Dani Ceballos will pen a new long-term contract with the newly-promoted La Liga outfit.

The 18-year-old played a key role in Spain's recent Under-19 European Championship success, with his performances leading to speculation of a move away from Betis this summer.

However, according to ABC de Sevilla, Betis sporting director Eduardo Macia is working on the midfielder's contract and only minor details are left to be agreed.

The same report has claimed that the teenager will become the second highest paid player at the club, while his release clause will be raised to around £10m.

As it stands, Ceballos will be out of contract in the summer of 2016.
