Marseille want to keep Cisse

Marseille want to keep Cisse

15 July 2008 - 13:58

Marseille have revealed they have no intention of selling star striker Djibril Cisse, despite the reported interest of West Ham and Bolton in the French international striker, who formerly played for Liverpool.

  • Arsenal in the front row to sign Dutch striker

  • There had been rumours in France this week that an unknown club had offered £7 million for Cisse.



    "First of all I must stress that at Marseille the players are not the ones who decide if they leave or not," Diouf told L'Equipe.



    "We have to look at Djibril's situation on its own. He experienced difficult moments last year that led him to think about returning to England.



    "At this moment, no decision has been taken. Two conditions would be needed to allow him to leave - if an offer that reaches our demands was made and if we can find a replacement.



    "Djibril is worth 37 goals in a season and a half and it is not easy to find players like that. For sure we'd rather keep a player like him."
