Multiple reports from France and Italy suggest Napoli are in advanced negotiations with Marseilleà for their Ghanaian midfielder Andreà Ayew in a deal worth about $14m.
The striker impressed in the Champions League against theà Partenopeià this season and had already been linked with a January move, but that collapsed due to a meniscus injury that kept him out for three months.
There are now reports director of sportà Riccardoà Bigonà travelledà toà Marseillethis week to offer ââ¬10mà for the 24-year-old.
ââ¬ÅThisà rumourà is true,â⬠La Provence journalistà Fabriceà Lampertià told CalcioNapoli24.it.
ââ¬ÅOM confirmed they were approached by Napoli emissaries for Andreà Ayew, though at the moment no other details have emerged.
ââ¬ÅMarseilleà absolutely need to recoup ââ¬7mà before June 30 to wipe out their debts. At the moment there is just one concrete offer forà Ayewà that was not denied: Newcastle United put ââ¬7mà on the table last summer.
ââ¬ÅAndreà Ayewà has a contract withà Marseilleà until June 30 2015. The club needs to sell before June 30 2014 to balance the books.
ââ¬ÅHowever,à Ayewà had always said heââ¬â¢d prefer to play in the Premier League.ââ¬
A wide attacker,à Ayewà has great pace and scored seven goals in 27 games forà Marseilleà this season, betweenà Ligueà 1 and Champions League.
Both his European goals were against Napoli, as OM lost 2-1 in France and 3-2 at the San Paolo withà Ayewà netting in both fixtures.
