France goalkeeper Steve Mandanda has ruled out a move this month, saying he will stay at Marseille until the end of the season "out of respect for the fans".

"My agent has received offers from different clubs to leave in January," Mandanda wrote on his Facebook page.

"We have studied these offers, I have weighed up the for and against in terms of what is best for me.

"I have decided to stay at Olympique de Marseille until the end of the season. One of the main reasons that has pushed me to do so today is my attachment to Marseille. I have responsibilities, I am the captain."

Mandanda's contract expires in June and he had been linked with a move to Aston Villa, who currently sit bottom of the English Premier League.

"I don't know where my future lies," added the 30-year-old but his decision to stay put for now comes as a boost to OM a day after Benjamin Mendy and leading scorer Michy Batshuayi signed contract extensions at the Stade Velodrome until 2019 and 2020 respectively.
