Paul Heckingbottom says there has been no contact from Marseille regarding Iliman Ndiaye. He also stressed the club is doing everything to keep him beyond the next 12 months. Heckingbottom offered an update after the 2-0 win, confirming what Yorkshire Live reported last week that there has been no contact from the French outfit.
Paul Heckingbottom said: “No, no [contact or bids] as we speak now. It’s pointless me talking about it. Everyone knows who Iliman is. There will be loads of clubs interested who would love to have Iliman but he’s our player. That’s it. He’s happy here, he loves it here. And who says they [Marseille] are going to be the ones to take Iliman if he leaves? Just because that story is getting traction or someone in France has written about it, it doesn’t mean anything is happening. Everyone wants him to stay. Everyone is working hard to get him to stay, to sign a new contract. I will do anything to get him to stay, but they are our players who are under contract with us. That’s the most important thing.”
