Transfer news: Andre-Pierre Gignac wants to quit Marseille - and fancies move to Inter
Tuesday 2 December 2014 13:51, UK
Ligue 1's joint top-scorer Andre-Pierre Gignac says he plans to leave Marseille in the summer when his contract runs out - and is keen on a move to Inter Milan.
The France international has scored 11 goals this season, level with Lyon's Alexandre Lacazette, helping Marseille top the table ahead of Paris Saint-Germain.
But with his contract nearing an end Gignac, who turns 29 on Friday, has one eye on the exit.
"I think I will leave at the end of the season," he told Gazzetta dello Sport. "I want to know if (coach Marcelo) Bielsa will stay, but I want a big challenge. I will consider all proposals carefully."
Gignac, an 18million euro (around £14.7million at the time) signing from Toulouse in 2010, hinted that Inter would be his preferred destination.
"Inter are an institution and (Roberto) Mancini is a great coach," he said. "I would be great. I live for football and watch all the major leagues. I admire the tactical culture of Italy. And I have also played against Sampdoria at the Marassi - the fans made a big impression on me."
