One player who is certain to leave Marseille this summer, however, is Andre Ayew. The Ghana international is out of contract at the end of the season and is currently weighing up offers to move to the Premier League.
Ayew, 25, who has been at Marseille for 10 years, has been linked with Spurs and Liverpool among others and Labrune has given up hope of convincing him to sign a new deal at the Stade Velodrome.
‘We can't keep Ayew,’ Labrune explained before Sunday victory which was shown live on BT Sport. ‘He is a very important player for OM but we can't offer him the kind of money English clubs can offer.
‘The French financial system is complicated and we can't offer him an equivalent salary to what he can earn in England. And equally, we can't ask Ayew, who we love and is an icon of our team, to accept a lower salary.
‘That makes no sense, so unfortunately he is going to quit the club and we hope he has the great career that he deserves in England or somewhere else.’
