Olympique Marseille coach Didier Deschamps is confident of closing a deal for Inter Milan winger Amantino Mancini.

The Brazilian will join Marseille on an initial loan - possibly in the next 24 hours.

Deschamps said: "Talks are going on. I told the president, but it is not easy to achieve agreement. If everything goes according to plan, it is possible that the deal is completed in the coming days."
