He also caught the eye for Spain during the European Under-19 Championships and now Madrid are hoping to prise him away from Betis.
Ceballos, 18, is entering the final year of his contract although it will automatically extend by a further 12 months should the Spanish club adjust his salary.
But now Marca have revealed that talks are already underway between Betis and Madrid about a deal and Ceballos is up for the switch.
The deal, which would involve the starlet moving straight back to Betis on loan, could alert Chelsea to firm up their long-term interest with an offer of their own.
