Reds striker Djibril Cisse is ready to join French giants Marseille, should they make a fresh bid for his services he told La Provence newspaper.

The French international scored 19 goals for Liverpool last season but is believed to be surplus to Rafa’s requirements for next season.

‘I would look seriously at an offer, if Marseille showed renewed interest,’ said Cisse.

‘I have never hidden my interest in playing for Marseille,’

‘For me France has two clubs. Auxerre and Marseille who I have always dreamt about. I repeat once again, yes one day I will come and play for Marseille.’

The 24yr old striker, who is in the French World Cup squad, claims that he had come close to signing for Marseille last season but the move was blocked by Liverpool.

‘I had very strong contacts with Marseille last summer and winter.

‘It was about to come to a positive solution but Liverpool were against me moving. At Marseille they thought it was me who didn’t want to come but that was not at all the case.’

However Cisse, scorer of 9 goals in 23 international appearances, said he would leave his club future aside until the World Cup campaign was over.

‘I believe that after the World Cup (June 9 – July 9) I will make a decision over my future.’
