Yohan Cabaye has told L'Equipe that Marseille tried to sign him during the January window but he is focused on helping Crystal Palace get out of their "complicated situation" in the Premier League.
Cabaye was in the Palace side routed 4-0 at home by Sunderland last Saturday, a defeat that left Sam Allardyce's men second-from-bottom of the table, two points from safety.
But the France international could have instead been in southern France competing for a top-four finish in Ligue 1 after Rudi Garcia, his former boss at Lille, attempted to sign him for Marseille last month.
