# Toon offer Ayew pre-contract

**Newcastle have joined a host of potential suitors, including Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool, in the race for Ghanaian winger Andre Ayew over a potential summer move.**

With just six-months remaining on his current deal, and current employers Olympique de Marseille electing not to offer the 25-year-old a new deal, Andre’s available to sign on a pre-contract, meaning he will arrive on a free transfer in the summer.

According to French news outlet [RMC](https://rmcsport.bfmtv.com/football/andre-ayew-courtise-par-liverpool-everton-et-dortmund-862787.html), Newcastle and Borussia Dortmund have entered talks with the Ghanaian’s representatives. It is believed Andre’s wage demands are in the region of £55,000-a-week.

Ayew has previously indicated his preference is England but, with Mike Ashley unwilling to loosen his purse strings and Liverpool’s extra incentive of European football, Ayew may favour a move to the red side of Stanley Park over Everton and Newcastle.

So far this season, Ayew has managed seven goals, and four assists, in 21 appearances (all comps).
