Ceballos's future has taken a turn in the last few hours and he could leave Real Madrid. He posted a message indicating that it had been his "last dance" against Oviedo. Olympique de Marseille is negotiating for him, which would make him another player who has played for both teams.

Héctor Rial

The first player to play for both Real Madrid and Olympique de Marseille was Héctor Rial. Winner of 5 European Cups with the Madrid side, he ended his career with the French club.

Laurie Cunningham

The English forward also played first for Real Madrid and then for Olympique de Marseille. It was with the white team where he achieved his greatest successes.

Rafa Martín Vázquez

A member of the Quinta del Buitre, he left Real Madrid as a major star. He played for Torino and Marseille before returning to Bernabéu for a second spell. Although with the French side he won a Champions League after playing the first half of the season with them.

Alfonso Pérez

Having come up through Real Madrid's youth academy, he never managed to establish himself in the first team. He played for Betis and Barça before joining Olympique de Marseille on loan for a few months.

Alberto Rivera

Very similar to the previous forward, Alberto Rivera came from La Fábrica and played for several teams including Betis. In the winter transfer window of 2001, he went to Marseille for a few months to play 12 matches.

Fernando Morientes

Alongside Rial, the other player who has played for both teams with the best track record. The forward from Sonseca played for the Madrid side between 1997 and 2003. He also ended his career at Stade Vélodrome.

Claude Makélélé

Before arriving in La Liga by signing for Celta de Vigo, Makélélé played in Ligue 1. There, he spent a season at Olympique de Marseille.

Gabriel Heinze

He became a highly valued player at Manchester United and Real Madrid signed him. Gabriel Heinze won the affection of Madridists in two seasons. He ended up being transferred to the Marseille side.

Lassana Diarra

He arrived to strengthen the Madrid midfield, but he never provided the desired stability. He had some good performances and others not so remarkable. He left for Russia. After that spell with several teams, he returned to France to Olympique.
