Marseille president admits Arsenal, Tottenham target Batshuayi wanted by 'Euro top 15'

Olympique Marseille president Vincent Labrune says Michy Batshuayi will only leave for his buyout clause.

The Belgium striker is being linked with Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham this season.

Labrune has confirmed Batshuayi's contract has a buyout clause, stating: "It is reality. There is not a club in the top 15 of Europe which does not watch his performances.

"This is one of the highest rated players in the market. He had a lot of offers this summer. But he never for one second wanted to leave. He must now confirm on the field our hopes for him.

"His sale will be expensive. That is to say, €35 million."

La Dernière Heure reports former club Standard Liege also has a 35% resale clause in Batshuayi's deal.
