Marseille insist Taye Taiwo's proposed move to Valencia is not a foregone conclusion.
Marseille insist Taye Taiwo's proposed move to Valencia is not a foregone conclusion.
The Nigeria international has claimed that he is close to sealing a summer transfer to the Spanish outfit.
Valencia are looking to replace Fabio Aurelio at left back and have targeted Taiwo as the ideal signing.
But Marseille chairman Pape Diouf has not given up hope of persuading the defender to stay at Stade Velodrome.
Diouf confirmed the Che's interest last month, but has suggested talks have not advanced over the past fortnight.
He is adamant there is no offer on the table from Valencia and remains committed to keeping Taiwo in France.
"We had no contact with Valencia," affirmed Diouf.
"Thinking about the Taiwo departure is fantasy."
