"I don't want to leave Anfield but I have no alternative but to try to find another club at least for now. So I have agreed to go to Marseille in October when I am fit again, but only on loan," said Cisse.
"I want the Liverpool fans to know the truth. They have made me so welcome and been very supportive. I want them to know it is not my choice to leave Liverpool."
"It makes me laugh how people twist what I say when I speak. I always said I supported Marseille as a kid, but it doesn't mean I'm desperate to go there.
"The manager has also said that Real Madrid is in his heart, but that doesn't mean he wants to leave.
"If I had the choice I'd stay at Liverpool for a long time. But I guess I don't have that choice."
