André Ayew’s Future Uncertain as Transfer Window Nears Close
As the summer transfer window draws to a close, André Ayew remains a player of Olympique de Marseille (OM), despite widespread speculation about his departure. The Ghanaian midfielder, who has attracted interest from several English clubs, has yet to make a definitive move away from the French club.
Reports suggest that Ayew’s relatively high salary has deterred some potential suitors, including AC Milan, who had reportedly shown interest. Meanwhile, Marseille president Vincent Labrune is reportedly eager to reduce the club’s wage bill by offloading high earners. However, Labrune appears open to keeping Ayew, whose contract runs until June 2015, given his importance to the team.
Adding to the complexity, Ayew himself is reluctant to move to certain clubs, particularly those perceived as less prestigious. Hull City has been linked with the midfielder, but Ayew’s agent has made it clear the player would reject such a move.
“He won’t go to that kind of club,” the agent told Get French Football News, emphasizing that the player has certain expectations about the level of the club he wishes to join. Meanwhile, Queens Park Rangers are reportedly actively pursuing Ayew, with negotiations ongoing.
There are signs that an agreement between Marseille and Queens Park Rangers could soon be reached, with Ayew said to be seriously considering the offer. Whether this will lead to a final transfer before the window closes remains to be seen.
For now, Marseille’s homegrown talent remains at La Canebière, with both player and club weighing their options carefully in what promises to be a dramatic final stretch of the transfer period.
