Dani Ceballos plans to "disconnect" before coming to a "clear" decision regarding his future after his year-long Arsenal loan came to an end.
The Gunners loanee played a crucial role as the Gunners claimed a 14th FA Cup trophy with a 2-1 victory over Chelsea at Wembley on Saturday.
Standard Sport understands Arsenal are growing increasingly confident they will be able to extend Ceballos' loan for another season, with Mikel Arteta keen for the 23-year-old to stay.
Parent club Real Madrid had been planning to cash in on the Spaniard this summer, but the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic has meant Los Blancos are now no longer opposed to waiting a further year.
And though Ceballos' loan spell at Arsenal has now come to an end, the Spaniard has also confirmed no conversation with Madrid has been held yet.
"I haven't spoken to Real Madrid yet, but anyone who wears that shirt is happy," Ceballos told El Partidazo de COPE. “Madrid are better than any club in the world. We'll see about my future.
“I'm not thinking about whether or not I can play for Real Madrid, Arsenal or another club.
“Now it's time to disconnect. I have to be calm and think clearly with my family about the coming year.”
Ceballos' options are not limited to just Arsenal or Madrid, however, with the midfielder confirming his former club Real Betis have been in contact throughout the season.
“I’ve a lot of love for Betis, for everyone that works at the club,” he added. “They know the love I have for them and we've been in contact all season. Betis means a lot to me.”
