"He has a contract with Marseille and they are not a small club, they are a big club in France," Bernes told Europe 1 radio station.

"But it is true that given his performances, and if there is the opportunity with a club, it is something we will examine and Marseille as well. Nothing is set, there is no destination fixed, there is contact with certain clubs in different European leagues."
