Transfer Watch – Juventus Target Marseille’s André Ayew for January Move
Ghanaian international André Ayew may be heading for the exit at Olympique de Marseille during the upcoming winter transfer window, with Juventus reportedly preparing a move for the 24-year-old midfielder.
According to Tuttosport, the Serie A champions are closely monitoring Ayew’s situation, especially given that his contract expires in June. Marseille, aware of the risk of losing him for free in the summer, could be tempted to cash in should a solid offer arrive in January.
This isn’t Juventus’s only interest at the Vélodrome. Reports also suggest that Brazilian defender Doria is on their radar, as the Italian giants look to strengthen their squad for the second half of the season.
Ayew, who has registered 12 Ligue 1 appearances and 2 goals this season, has long been one of Marseille’s most consistent performers. However, contract renewal talks have stalled, opening the door for suitors like Juventus and Napoli, who have also expressed interest.
With Ayew likely to feature prominently for Ghana at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations, his profile could rise further, making January a crucial decision point for both the player and his club.
