Marseille`s attempt to sign Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos has reportedly stalled, with the French club deeming Real`s €15 million valuation of the Spanish international as excessive. This impasse means a potential loan-to-buy agreement has not been reached after initial talks.
Les Olympiens are actively seeking midfield reinforcements, especially following the decision to place Adrien Rabiot on the transfer list after a reported disagreement with England U21 international Jonathan Rowe. While manager Roberto De Zerbi has indicated a willingness to resolve the situation with Rabiot, Marseille remains focused on strengthening its squad.
Consequently, reports suggest Marseille is now turning its attention elsewhere. The club is reportedly preparing to approach Benfica for a potential loan-to-buy deal for 26-year-old Portuguese midfielder Florentino Luis, as they continue their efforts to bolster their central midfield options.
