Ayew Attracts Italian Interest as Marseille Exit Looms
Ghana international André Ayew is edging closer to a departure from Olympique de Marseille, with growing interest from top Serie A clubs.
The 24-year-old midfielder, who recently returned to action following an extended post-World Cup break, featured in Marseille’s commanding 5-0 friendly victory over Dutch side Willem II on Sunday. Despite his return to the squad, Ayew’s future at the French club remains uncertain.
According to French sports daily L’Équipe, Serie A outfit Napoli have identified Ayew as a potential replacement for departing forward Goran Pandev. The Partenopei are reportedly monitoring the Ghanaian’s situation closely as they look to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new season.
Ayew’s performances have not gone unnoticed in Italy, with AC Milan also said to be weighing up a move for the Marseille man. Italian media reports suggest the Rossoneri could soon table an offer to lure the dynamic midfielder to San Siro.
A product of Marseille’s youth academy, Ayew has been a key figure at the club since breaking into the first team. His consistent displays and versatility have made him one of Ghana’s most prominent football exports.
With his contract entering its final year, the prospect of a transfer appears increasingly likely, especially with European clubs keen to secure his services at a reduced fee.
Ayew was part of the Ghana squad that reached the Round of 16 at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, scoring twice in the group stages. His international pedigree and experience at the highest level continue to make him an attractive prospect for clubs across Europe.
No formal offers have yet been confirmed, but interest from Italy suggests that Ayew could soon be embarking on a new chapter in his career.
