What twists and turns in this OM transfer window. With the probable departure by the weekend of Adrien Rabiot, pushed towards the exit after his altercation with Jonathan Rowe ten days ago, the Club Marseille seemed to have found the appropriate profile to succeed him in the midfield in the person of Dani Ceballos. Good news, the Spaniard seemed, until then, interested in reaching the south of France, opening the channel to discuss his arrival.
In parallel, and according to our information, OM and Real Madrid had even quickly agreed for a loan with option to buy the international (13 selections, 1 goal) of 29 years. The indicators may be green, it was without counting on an unexpected reversal revealed by AS At the beginning of the afternoon, confirmed in the process by all of the Spanish media and by us. Ceballos has backtrack. OM is already working on other tracks.
Ligue 1 deemed too low by Ceballos
The Madrid will not join Marseille for several reasons. First, he asked for a time to reflect on the Marseille leadership, which well felt hesitations on his part, when he had previously given his approval. Other elements have questioned this loan. Ceballos fears taking a step back by leaving the Liga to join Ligue 1, despite the qualification of OM at the next Champions League.
At a time when we write these lines, the midfielder is preparing to play a new season at Real Madrid, a club where he has been playing since 2019 as 13th or 14th man (he was loaned to Arsenal in 2021/2022). The arrival of Xabi Alonso rebatted the cards. Ceballos came into play during the first two days of Liga, however, various Spanish media evoke an interest in Betis where it was formed. A return to Andalusia by the weekend is not to be ruled out either.
