Real Madrid Confidencial Marseille's president reveals what happened with Ceballos: 'You can't...'
Dani Ceballos halted his signing with the French club at the last minute to wait for Real Betis
Everyone thought that Dani Ceballos would end up playing this season for Olympique de Marseille, but that won't be the case. The saga didn't end well for OM, which won't be able to count on what would have been a great addition to its midfield.
After what happened, the French club has spoken through Pablo Longoria, its Spanish president. Although he didn't want to give many details about the deal, he did leave a few remarks making it clear that everything was Dani Ceballos's decision. The Real Madrid footballer stopped everything at the last minute.
Dani Ceballos stopped the deal with Marseille
"Market situations, all the things that change very often, so well...", Pablo Longoria said last night to "El Chiringuito de Jugones". The president looked quite tired from the late hour and everything that had happened throughout the previous Wednesday, so he didn't want to give more details.
The ongoing doubts of Dani Ceballos about moving to France stopped that agreement. The footballer, according to "Defensa Central", asked the French club for a day to reflect and clarify his future. However, the response from the French side was clear: break off its offer and withdraw from the bidding due to the Spanish footballer's constant doubts.
"We were interested, honestly, but well... There are certain circumstances that you as a club can't control, right?", Pablo Longoria replied to Marcos Benito from "El Chiringuito".
He stresses that Real Madrid always made things easy
Pablo Longoria wanted to make it clear at all times that the problems, by no means, arose when talking to Real Madrid. The white club behaved like a true gentleman. The issues appeared at the moment of signing with Dani Ceballos, who asked OM for more time.
"Above all, as always, Real Madrid is a true gentleman club and has always behaved well", Pablo Longoria made clear. The Olympique Marseille president, who had more details about everything that happened, didn't want to say more. "Don't push me..." were his last words to Marcos Benito.
