OM Transfer News: Imminent Agreement with Real Madrid for Ceballos!

We’re almost there! After days of rumors, doubts, and negotiations, Dani Ceballos has never been closer to wearing our shirt. According to Fabrizio Romano, OM and Real Madrid are now on the verge of a final agreement. The arrangement? A loan with an obligation to buy. Smart, right? It eases our finances while locking in a player who has already said YES to Marseille.

Ceballos wants OM, and nothing else

It’s simple: he wants the Vélodrome. The 29-year-old Spanish midfielder has faith in the project and in Roberto De Zerbi, who would give him the playing time he no longer has in Madrid. With the 2026 World Cup approaching, he knows that staying on the bench with the Merengues won’t do him any favors. Here, he’d have a major role, real status, and the chance to showcase his talent every weekend.

Why this transfer matters for OM

Let’s be honest: it would be a huge coup. A player who already has experience in La Liga, the Champions League, and the highest level is hard to turn down. In a midfield where Rabiot’s situation is still unclear and where De Zerbi is calling for more variety, Ceballos would bring vision, technical quality, and creativity. In short, exactly what we sometimes lack to unlock games.

The final details to iron out

Real want to safeguard their interests; OM want to spread the deal out so as not to burden the budget right away. According to Romano, the final talks revolve around the precise terms of the obligation to buy (≈€12–15m). But the optimism is real: everyone wants it to happen, and fast.

And you, OM family?

So, what do you think? Is Ceballos the maestro we need in midfield, or a risky bet given his lack of playing time in Madrid? Do you approve the deal or would you prefer a different profile? Let’s debate together, because the transfer window isn’t over and anything can still happen!
