For now, Gomis was quoted by L'Equipe as saying: "I have not signed any pre-contract with anyone. I can pretty much go, as I can very well stay.
"I play with the mindset of a player who loves his club and respects his contract.
"I would not want to give the impression that my head is somewhere else.
"I'm still proud to wear these colours and I have a lot of ambitions with OL. So don't expect me to give up."
