Patrice Evra is set for a medical at Marseille as the French club close in on his signature, according to Sky sources.

Evra has been told he can leave Juve - who face AC Milan live on Sky Sports 2 and Sky Sports Mix on Wednesday - and Sky In Italy reported earlier this month he had held talks with Crystal Palace.

Lyon were also linked with the 35-year-old, but it is understood Marseille are now confident of securing his signature on an 18-month deal.

Evra, who has won back-to-back doubles with Juve since joining from Manchester United in 2014, will have a medical in France on Thursday.
