It's back to square one for Marseille after multiple reports outlining their failure to land Dani Ceballos from Real Madrid. The midfielder had been in their sights for weeks, but despite talks taking place over a potential transfer, the move never materialised and it looks like they will need to move onto fresh targets. He'll remain with his current club for the time being - unless an improved bid is made. Talks broke down before a deal could be reached with Marseille, leaving the door open for clubs like Juventus and Real Betis to step in. Marseille look balanced this season - 2.0 goals scored and 0.83 goals conceded per game. Dani Ceballos would be expected to bring control and consistency to help push them to another level. Real Madrid have also been linked with Mohamed Salah, Rodri and Angelo Stiller while Marseille are reportedly monitoring Matt O'Riley, Nayef Aguerd and Benjamin Pavard.
