French international defender Rod Fanni is to join Olympique Marseille from Stade Rennes on a two-and-a-half year deal, the Ligue 1 champions said on Wednesday.
"An agreement has been reached between Marseille, Rennes and Rod Fanni for the two-and-a-half year deal that will be signed when the player has undergone the usual medical checks on Wednesday night," Marseille said on their website.
Right back Fanni, who started his professional career at Martigues in 1999, will replace Cesar Azpilicueta after the Spaniard was ruled out for the season last month through injury.
The 29-year-old Fanni won the last of his five caps for France in a 2-1 friendly defeat against Norway last August.
