André Ayew is widely regarded as one of the most talented players in the Olympique de Marseille squad, and his performances on the field validate this perception. With his contract set to expire in June 2015, Ayew has been the subject of significant interest from other clubs for the past two years.
As speculation swirls around his future, Marseille’s management, led by José Anigo and Vincent Labrune, are reportedly eyeing Eric Bauthéac as a potential successor to Ayew. Bauthéac, a 26-year-old striker, is currently under contract with OGC Nice until 2016. If Ayew departs during the upcoming summer transfer window, Marseille may look to Bauthéac to fill the void left by the Ghanaian midfielder.
