The France international flew out this evening to complete a medical.

The Ligue 1 club announced the move tonight.

Evra will hold a Press conference with President Jacques-Henri Eyraud and director of sport Andoni Zubizarreta on Thursday evening.

The left-back had been linked with Valencia, Crystal Palace, Olympique Lyonnais and a return to Manchester United.

He will work with former Roma Coach Rudi Garcia in Marseille.

Evra will be 36 in May and his contract with Juventus was due to expire in June.

He has 81 senior caps for France, but has not played in Ligue 1 since leaving Monaco in January 2006.
