Rennes striker M'Baye Niang admits he has discussed leaving the club.

The Senegal international has been linked with clubs in England and France, especially Marseille.

"It is flattering. There is no smoke without fire. There have been discussions, but today there is nothing concrete," Niang told Canal Football Club.

"In France, there are clubs that are sounding me out and are trying to get an idea of on what terms I would come. Abroad as well. In England, all the clubs are looking for strikers."

The 25-year-old spent six years with AC Milan, during which time he enjoyed loan spells at Montpellier, Genoa, Watford and Torino.
