According to Real Betis president Angel Haro, things are "moving quickly" in Real Madrid's pursuit of Dani Ceballos.
Per Marca's Miguel A. Moran, he said:
"What is clear is that Dani has rejected the offer of a new contract at Betis. Real Madrid are saying that there is an agreement with them.
"More will be known in the coming hours but everything is moving quickly. We are talking to Madrid and in the next few hours there will be more news."
Ceballos caught the eye at the Under-21 European Championship with Spain, in which he built on a strong season with Betis with some superb performances.
