Excellent season
Fiorèse, 29, has agreed a four-year contract with Marseille after an excellent season with the capital club. He was a regular in PSG's run to second place and scored six times, including the only goal in a 1-0 win against Marseille at the Stade Vélodrome.
Lyon old boy
Fiorèse started his career at Olympique Lyonnais in 1996/97 before switching to EA Guingamp in 1997/98. He had been at the Parc des Princes since January 2002. PSG moved quickly to replace Fiorèse, signing Le Mans UC 72 striker Fabrice Pancrate and Charles-Edouard Coridon from RC Lens.
Loan moves
Marseille have also loaned 20-year-old midfield player Therry Racon and 22-year-old forward Karim Dahou to second-division FC Lorient for a season to gain experience.
