Cisse: Expected to stay
Marseille head coach Eric Gerets expects Djibril Cisse to remain at the Stade Velodrome this season.
Cisse has been strongly linked with a transfer away from Ligue 1 this summer, following reports that he is keen to move back to the Premier League as his wife still lives in England.
Rumours of an approach from Serie A side Roma were rejected on Thursday, and now Gerets has expressed his belief that the 26-year-old striker, who signed permanently from Liverpool last summer, will not be leaving the club.
"In my head, he is staying, except if there is an offer of X million euros," said Gerets.
"But this offer is not coming. For some time, I have been left with the idea that he is going to stay at the club."
