Andre Ayew will leave French club Olympique Marseille at the end of the season, the club president has confirmed.
England could be a very likely destination from the president’s comments despite Andre Ayew reported to be closing in on a move to AS Roma.
Marseille president Vincent Labrune said:
‘We can’t keep Ayew. He is a very important player for OM but we can’t offer him the kind of money English clubs can offer. The French financial system is complicated and we can’t offer him an equivalent salary to what he can earn in England.’
‘And equally, we can’t ask Ayew, who we love and is an icon of our team, to accept a lower salary.’
‘That makes no sense so unfortunately he is going to quit the club and we hope he has the great career that he deserves in England or somewhere else.’
English Premier League clubs Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, Everton, Liverpool and Swansea City have all been linked with the player.
