Mario Balotelli is expected to complete his move to Marseille from Nice this week.
The Italy striker held further talks with Marseille over the weekend and it appears he is closing in on a move to the club, with an announcement expected in the next 48 hours.
The former Manchester City, AC Milan and Liverpool man has missed pre-season training with Nice this summer and is determined to push through a move to the Stade Velodrome with reports suggesting he will become their best-paid player ever should the transfer go through.
The 27-year-old has resurrected his career in France after a tough time at Liverpool and has scored a hugely-impressive 43 goals in 66 appearances in all competitions for Nice.
