Benoit Cheyrou to stay at Olympique de Marseille – Ligue 1 news
The midfield of French Ligue 1 club http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Lorient-c39153 and Nicolas N’Koulou from AS Monaco.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Charles-c8808 Kabore and Argentine international Lucho Gonzalez are already getting close to a move away from the Stade Velodrome as the club’s direction seeks to reduce the burden on the club’s payroll.
A few weeks ago, it was argued that former Lille midfielder Benoit Cheyrou might also be shown the exit by the end of this summer. However, it now appears that Cheyrou is not in the list of players Les Phoceens want to offload.
While talking to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 Football, the 30-year-old said that he had no intention of leaving the Rhone club.
“I had a discussion with the coach who said that he was pleased with me and was relying on me for the coming season,” said the former Auxerre main before adding, “One never knows what the future holds but it’s true that I have some stability. I have known
three clubs in fourteen years.”
Though Cheyrou’s incumbency has sometimes been challenged by Didier Deschamps, the 30-year-old is ready to fight for his place in the starting XI next season.
The Suresnes native said that his ambitions match with the club’s ambitions and revealed his desire to win the Championelle with the Rhone club next season.
Following a stellar 2006/2007 Ligue 1 season with Auxerre, Marseille sporting director Jose Anigo brought the Frenchman to the Stade Velodrome on a four-year deal for a fee in the region of five million Euros.
Last season Cheyrou made 20 league appearances for Les Phoceens and struggled to get regular playing time largely due to the great form of Lucho Gonzalez who is one of the players who that might leave the club this summer.
Cheyrou has made 135 appearances for Les Phoceens and has proved to be a vital member of the squad due to his experience and great understanding of the game. The player’s decision to stay at the club would increase the depth in the squad ahead of a season
in which Deschamps would be aiming to lift the Championelle.
