Marseille had been seen as the frontrunners to sign the ex-Manchester United player, but no deal materialised, with coach Roberto De Zerbi explaining: "Nobody will unbalance my dressing room as long as I am [the] coach."
However, the Ligue 1 club's president has hinted that the 32-year-old could still be brought in as he admitted that there have been talks.
WHAT LONGORIA SAID
"We had the opportunity, there were some conversations, and we've considered this possibility," he told . "Looking to the future, he's obviously a player of an important level, and a name like that on the market is always valuable. Looking ahead, we're focused on the end of the season, and perhaps in three weeks we'll have a clearer vision of the plan. Obviously, a player like that on the market is something to be valued."
