According to the report, only minor details remain to be sorted out before the 21-year-old can join the French Ligue 1 club on a season-long loan deal with an option to buy of around €15 million.
A week ago, Marseille coach André Villas-Boas confirmed his interest in the Argentine centre-back.
Balerdi was already linked with a move to Marseille before he joined Dortmund from Boca Juniors for €15.5 million in January 2019.
Since then, he has made just eight appearances for 'Die Schwarzgelben'.
