Arab Gulf - Nour Al-Din Mifrani The deal for the Spanish player Dani Ceballos, Real Madrid's midfielder, to move to Olympique Marseille of France, has failed, even though the two clubs reached a final agreement. According to the newspaper "AS", Olympique Marseille offered Real Madrid to loan Ceballos for a season with a mandatory purchase next summer for 11 million euros, and 4 million euros in variables, which the royal team was ready to accept, even though it was asking to sell him for 15 million euros. The midfielder suddenly stopped the deal, a decision that did not please the Real Madrid management. Reports stated that the reason was not the player's desire to move to Real Betis, his former team, but that Dani Ceballos's dispute with the French team was due to the commission of the player's sister and mother, who are his agents. Ceballos's future is currently uncertain, and Real Betis, which is still the Andalusian player's priority, is striving to sign the Brazilian Antony from Manchester United, an expensive deal that practically contradicts the Real Madrid midfielder's deal. But in recent hours, it seems that the Andalusian club is facing great difficulty in signing the Brazilian star, and according to "AS", it is looking for ways to bring its prodigal son back home in the last days of the transfer market. Even if he stays in Madrid, it will not be a problem for Dani Ceballos. Before the idea of joining Marseille, his goal was to stay and fight for a place in the midfield of coach Xabi Alonso's squad. Ceballos's contract with the royal club expires in the summer of 2027. The 29-year-old Spanish star joined Real Madrid in the summer of 2017 from Real Betis. Ceballos went on loan to the English club Arsenal for the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 seasons, before returning to Real Madrid. The Spanish midfielder participated as a substitute in Real Madrid's two matches this season, with one minute against Osasuna, and 3 minutes against Real Oviedo. Ceballos won 3 Champions League titles, 3 European Super Cups, 2 Spanish League titles, one Spanish Cup, 3 Spanish Super Cups, 3 Club World Cups, and one Intercontinental Cup with Real Madrid.
