"Marseille" president recognizes that A.Gignac will most likely leave the club

"Marseille" president Vincent Labrune admits that they will likely have to part ways with one of the team's leaders, Andre-Pierre Gignac, after the season. The head of the Marseille team revealed that they are being monitored by the French tax inspection, so they cannot offer the 28-year-old footballer a more lucrative contract. "It will happen because the player's salary is already being monitored by the French tax authorities," Labrune said. "We want to keep him, but it is almost impossible for him to reduce his salary and stay in our team," added the Marseille president. A. Gignac is being eyed by several English Premier League clubs, especially Arsenal in London. This season, the Frenchman has shown excellent form and scored as many goals in 10 games played.
