The Frenchman was linked with the French side in the winter.
Crystal Palace midfielder Yohan Cabaye has admitted he would be flattered with any interest from French side Marseille in his career.
However, he insisted that he has a job to do with Crystal Palace at present, despite his links with current Marseille boss Rudi Garcia.

“It’s flattering, because OM are one of the great French clubs. But my life is in London, my club, and I’m focused on that.
“It’s flattering. Really. I have immense respect for Rudi, the coach and the person he is. But there is a reality. And we’re in a complicated situation with the club. What I can say is that the only link I have with Marseille is that my fourth daughter was born there, that’s all.”
Marseille have made the news recently for their eventually successful pursuit of West Ham’s Dimitri Payet. The club have undergone mass structural change behind the scenes after a successful American takeover at the Stade Velodrome.

The club want to get back to past glories and bringing in talented players, especially French ones, such as the Crystal Palace midfielder will be key to their attempted resurgence.
Cabaye has not had the biggest impact at Palace since he arrived at the club from Paris Saint-Germain. The French international has been struggling to help Palace in their relegation fight and if the club were to drop into the Championship there is no doubt that he will be heavily linked with a Selhurst Park exit in the summer.
At which point Marseille will likely be linked again.
