Daniel "Dani" Ceballos Fernández (born 7 August 1996) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for FC Barcelona as a central midfielder and can also operate as an attacking midfielder.
Club career
Born in Utrera, Province of Seville, Ceballos joined Sevilla FC's youth system in 2004 at the age of 8, but was released in 2009 due to a chronic bronchitis problem. He subsequently played for hometown's CD Utrera, and completed his development in Real Betis after signing in 2011; he signed a professional contract with the latter club on 22 February 2014, while still a junior.
Real Betis
On 26 April 2014, without even appearing for the B-team, Ceballos played his first official game with the Andalusians' main squad, coming on as a late substitute in a 0–1 La Liga home loss against Real Sociedad. On 21 December, he scored his first professional goal, netting the first of a 2–0 home win over Racing de Santander for the Segunda División championship; he featured in 33 matches and netted five times for the Verdiblancos during the campaign, as they returned to the top level at the first attempt.
On 15 October 2015, after lengthy negotiations, Ceballos renewed his contract until 2020.
FC Barcelona
In July 2017, Ceballos has agreed to join FC Barcelona for a fee of €15 million on a 6-year contract.
International career
On 5 November 2014, Ceballos was called up to the Spanish under-19 side, appearing against Germany, France and Greece in a tournament played in the latter nation. He made his debut for the under-21s on 26 March 2015, replacing Samu Castillejo at half-time of a 2–0 friendly win over Norway in Cartagena, Murcia; four days later, in León, he made his first start, helping to a 4–0 defeat of Belarus.
