Premiership target Franck Ribery has confirmed his intention to stay at Marseille until the end of the season.The France Under-21 international is being courted by several English sides, with Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur tracking his progress.
Ribery has been a revelation since joining Marseille from Galatasaray over the summer and has sparkled on the left wing.
Marseille are determined to retain the 22-year-old's services, but concede a massive offer could force their hand.
But they will take heart from Ribery's own view about his future, which involves staying at Stade Velodrome for the rest of the season.
He admits he is happy to be playing for Marseille and leaves all the speculation in the hands of his agent.
"My officials know what they have to do," Ribery told L'Equipe.
"A lot of clubs are following me, but I don't even know which ones. My agent is managing all that.
"Personally, I don't think it is so bad to play for l'OM.
"I am sure I will stay at least until the end of the season."
