Marseille loan deal for Liverpool's Cisse


Liverpool striker Djibril Cisse has agreed a loan move to Marseille next season.

Cisse is under contract with Liverpool until 2009 but was set to be sold off by Rafael Benitez before he broke his right tibia in France's World Cup warm-up match against China.
After being ruled out of action for at least five months, any move away from Anfield was deemed unlikely, but French daily L'Equipe understands the two clubs have agreed terms on a loan switch.
The 24-year-old striker has accepted a salary cut as part of the loan, the report said, adding that he has long wanted to play for Marseille.
