according to club president Vincent Labrune.
The goalkeeper, whose contract expires in June, has been
linked with a transfer away from the Stade Velodrome with
Besiktas, Liverpool and Aston Villa all reportedly taking an
interest.
Mandanda has been a consistent peformer since signing
from Le Havre in 2007 and has missed just six Ligue 1
fixtures in that time.
The 30-year-old France international saved three penalties
in the 3-1 shoot-out win over Caen in the Coupe de France
last weekend and the Marseille chief insists there is no
chance he will be allowed to leave before the end of the
season.
"We will not part with our best people in mid-season,"
Labrune told RMC Sport .
"Mandanda is part of our lifeblood and he will not go away
this winter.
"We are both on the same wavelength. We do not want to
sell him and Steve is not looking for a club."
