Zenden leaves Reds for the Med
-
Marseille are set to announce the signing of winger Bolo Zenden on a free transfer following his release by Liverpool earlier this week.
The former Holland midfielder is expected to sign a two-year contract at OM after completing a medical on Friday.
A statement on OM's official website read: "Boudewijn Zenden is at Marseille.
"He is currently taking medical exams as a pre-condition to him signing, and should then sign for two years at OM, before being presented to the press."
Zenden, 30, has played for PSV Eindhoven, Barcelona, Chelsea, Middlesbrough and Liverpool in a distinguished career.
He plays on the left wing, but can also play in the centre of midfield or at left-back.
His last competitive appearance came in the Reds' 2-1 defeat to AC Milan in the final of last season's Champions League.
He has played 54 times for Holland but not since September 2004.
Marseille qualified for this season's Champions League after finishing second in Ligue 1 last term.
Meanwhile, OM are on the verge of selling Mickael Pagis to Ligue 1 rivals Rennes for a fee believed to be in the region of 1.2million euros (£800,000).
The 33-year-old striker has left Marseille's training base in Capbreton and will fly to Rennes to pen a two-year deal with the Brittany club, according to a statement on OM's website. -
