Nancy forward Kim has agreed to join Ligue 1 rivals Marseille next season on a four-year deal.

The teams are battling it out for third position in the table with one match remaining.

"The move works for me", the Brazilian told French magazine France Football.

On Friday Nancy will hear the final verdict on their attempt to have the defeat to Bordeaux in late March annulled.

Bordeaux, who are guaranteed second place but are still in with a chance of overhauling leaders Lyon on the final day of the season, won 2-1 after Johan Micoud won a penalty through diving, duly converted by Fernando Cavenaghi.

Kim, 27, joined Nancy from Egyptian club Al Ahli in 2005 and has scored six goals from 23 league matches this season.

A point separates Nancy, in third, from Marseille. The former face Rennes at home on Saturday, while l'OM welcome Strasbourg to the Stade Velodrome.

Strasbourg defender Manuel Dos Santos, 34, who used to feature for Marseille, has had his contract terminated from this summer despite featuring in 36 matches in the present campaign.
