The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 and despite the advances of Turkish giants Fenerbahce, has chosen to stay with the Rhone giants for the foreseeable future
According to reports in France, Ligue 1 giants, Olympique de Marseille were approached by Turkish Super Lig side Fenerbahce over the possibility of signing star midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mathieu-Valbuena-c24690 during the upcoming winter transfer window.
However, Les Phoceens direction does not want to part ways with arguably their best player since the start of the current season. And, it appears that the feeling is mutual as the midfielder is also keen on extending his stay at the Canebiere club.
While talking to reporters, the France international proved that he had no desire for a move abroad. Valbuena revealed during an interview that he is already negotiating with the club’s management over a new contract and added that he wants to win titles
with the French giants.
“I’m in talks for an extension. It is my wish to play wearing Marseille’s colours. I’m in Marseille, I feel good, I still want to win titles here. My contract extension is in sight but I have not signed it yet,” says Le http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Petit-c29836 Velo thus once again, casting
his lot to a club that took its chances on him when other sides in France doubted his credentials.
Fenerbahce have been keeping tabs on the Frenchman for a long time and the Turkish club’s owner’s resolve in bringing the player to his club became stronger than ever after Valbuena impressed during a Europa League group stage game in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Turkey-c3026 against them.
During that game, the midfielder scored a goal to reduce Fenerbahce’s lead (2-1) and then provided an assist for Andre Ayew’s equaliser. The game ended 2-2 and the player’s performance did not go unnoticed.
The Turks are still very keen on somehow luring the 28-year-old to Istanbul the same way they did http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mamadou-Niang-c23292 back in the summer of 2010 when he was still a Marseille captain. Despite the club being in a great financial position to offer Valbuena a lucrative
deal, the France international has chosen to stay at the club which goes on to show the player’s loyalty.
