Marseille president Pape Diouf says if Sunderland cannot afford Djibril Cisse, there are other clubs that can.

Diouf told La Provence: "If it's not Sunderland, other clubs can be interested in Djibril.

"Speculating at such time of the year would be premature for me.

"You also have to understand that Djibril will have his say.

"As a consequence, I don't really want to comment on the Sunderland chairman's declarations."
