It appeared all was agreed for a move to the South Coast of France, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.football-espana.net\/2025\/08\/27\/real-madrid-man-halts-olympique-marseille-move-despite-agreement\">Ceballos put the move on hold at the last minute<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Marseille were unwilling to wait, and pulled the plug on the deal after two days of talks with Real Madrid. The deal would have seen a loan move with an obligation to buy worth around \u20ac15m to Los Blancos, but Ceballos\u2019 doubts scuppered the operation. It is not the first time that a move away from the Santiago Bernabeu has collapsed at the last-minute, and there appears to be a degree of frustration in the air on the part of the club.<\/p>\n<h2>Real Madrid no longer contemplating Ceballos exit<\/h2>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marca.com\/futbol\/real-madrid\/2025\/08\/28\/asi-salto-aires-acuerdo-real-madrid-olympique-ceballos.html\">Marca<\/a>, Real Madrid have ruled out an exit for Ceballos in the final stages of the transfer market. The 29-year-old midfielder will return to training as another member of the squad with the same rotational role as he had prior. Los Blancos were ready to do a deal, taking into account Ceballos\u2019 wishes, but now feel that it is no longer worth \u2018wasting their time on further negotiations\u2019.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"3840\" height=\"2160\" class=\"wp-image-307894 has-webp lazyload\" style=\"height:auto;max-width: 2048px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Ceballos was close to a move on Tuesday.\" data-src=\"http:\/\/piquant-burotic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Ceballos-1-scaled.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image via Getty Images Sport<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Real Betis rumours<\/h2>\n<p>It was rumoured that Ceballos had halted the move to Ligue 1 due to potential interest from former club Betis, with who he has flirted for multiple years over a return. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.football-espana.net\/2025\/08\/27\/antony-betis-ceballos-united\">Conflicting reports emerged on their interest<\/a>, but it appears they have made no formal move for him.
