Journalist Pepe Alvarez revealed that the failure of Dani Ceballos' transfer to Olympique Marseille was not due to Real Betis' interest as rumored, but rather a disagreement over the commissions requested by the player's mother and sister.

Alvarez clarified that Marseille had reached an agreement with Real Madrid for Ceballos' loan with an obligation to buy for 15 million euros next summer, and the player initially expressed his agreement to the offer.

The source added that the deal abruptly stalled after additional financial demands from the player's representatives, prompting the French club to withdraw from negotiations and causing the player to halt his departure process.

The future of the Spanish star remains uncertain, just a few days before the closure of the current summer transfer market.
