Flamini hints at Milan exit

Mathieu Flamini’s contract with Milan expires at the end of the season, so he has left the door open for a January move to Olympique Marseille.

“There are various options for my future, which is why there is so much talk,” the French midfielder told L’Equipe.

Mathieu Flamini’s contract with Milan expires at the end of the season, so he has left the door open for a January move to Olympique Marseille.

“There are various options for my future, which is why there is so much talk,” the French midfielder told L’Equipe.

“Right now I am at Milan and what counts is finishing the first half of the season in the best way possible. Marseille? For now I am here, then we’ll see…”

The former Arsenal man has barely featured for the Rossoneri due to a series of injuries and was never particularly high up the pecking order.

He started Tuesday’s Champions League 1-0 defeat to Zenit, a meaningless game as Milan had already qualified.

“It is always a pleasure to start a match. In a career there can be difficult moments, but it’s a marathon, not a sprint and I have no intention of pulling back. I remain concentrated so I can prove the Coach can count on me.”
