According to the extremely reliable Mathieu Gregoire of Le Parisien, Marseille are looking to potentially offload main striker Andre Pierre Gignac if an offer pleases them. In an attempt to test what type of offers Marseille might expect to receive this summer, they have contacted several English clubs to see if they might bite.
