Spain Under-21 Sensation Dani Ceballos Deletes Tweet About Lionel Messi

Real Madrid are on the verge of signing Spain under-21 sensation Dani Ceballos. Though while a move to the iconic Bernabeu rumbles on, the midfielder has since deleted a series of Tweets.

Spain advanced to the under-21 European Championship final after beating their Italian counterparts courtesy of a brilliant hat-trick from Saul Niguez.

And it appears he's set to secure himself a switch to Real Madrid ahead of the new season. But the 20-year-old is expected to be immediately sent out on loan per SPORT.

The Spanish outlet have also revealed that Ceballos has deleted Tweets from his account amid the speculation linking him with a move to Real Madrid.

He deleted one Tweet praising Lionel Messi while wanting his autograph.

"I would like to have Messi's autograph."

And another following his sides lost to Real Madrid.

"Betis deserve the same treatment as all clubs. The referees have to help us because we represent the badge."

Awkward.
