Marseille keen on Andre-Pierre Gignac exit?

Marseille striker Andre-Pierre Gignac has reportedly been told that he can leave the club as they are looking to ease their wage bill.

The 27-year-old Frenchman has recently been linked with a £12m move to Newcastle United.

However, Gignac's agent has claimed that the forward is not keen on the idea of joining another team.

"We've got a lot of time to think together about what comes next," Jean-Christophe Cano told Le Parisien.

"I've not mentioned the slightest offer from abroad for Andre-Pierre, because he simply has not envisaged leaving this summer.

"Finding a better project that OM's right now is immensely difficult. He's looking forward to enjoying another great season at Marseille."

Gignac scored 14 goals in all competitions for Marseille during the last campaign.
