Olympique Marseille winger Franck Ribery admitted on Friday he will consider leaving the club if the French side did not reach the UEFA Champions League.

"I say it very clearly; I want to play in the Champions League. It is a primary objective," Ribery was quoted as saying by L'Equipe.

"Marseille officials told me that in case the club fail to progress to the European primary competition I can depart. I'm sure they will keep their promise."

The 1993 European champions lie eight in the French Ligue 1 table with 42 points, four short of the third Champions League spot which is occupied by Sochaux.

"There are still eight matches remaining, I believe we can make it. The third place is not far so we have to win all our matches," the 24-year-old added.

Ribery revealed that that English Premiership and Spanish Primera Liga interest him, insisting that he won't move to any other French club.
