Dani Ceballos is living through decisive days regarding his immediate future.

According to the newspaper AS, the Andalusian player halted his transfer to Olympique de Marseille at the last moment, which reopens the debate about his continuity at Real Madrid or a possible departure.

Ceballos is considering three options: staying with the Whites, returning to Betis, or finding a last-minute move to another European team.

Staying at Madrid is complicated due to the fierce competition in midfield, although injuries to some teammates give him a glimmer of hope.

A return to Betis would be a sentimentally appealing move, but economically difficult to achieve.

The third option, a quick transfer to another European club, seems the most viable if he wants minutes and prominence, in a competition of a higher level than French football, which he has already turned down.

With the transfer window closing in, Ceballos faces a key decision for his career and his international ambitions.
