Off to Rome: Dede Ayew close to AS Roma deal - agent

Ghana star, Andre Ayew could soon sign with Italian Serie A side, AS Roma, agent Bruno Satin has revealed.

The 25 year old son of Abedi Pele whose contract at French giants, Olympique Marseille has expired and is thus a free agent, is reportedly in Warsaw, the capital of Poland to watch the UEFA Europa League final between Sevilla and Dnipro with an official of Roma.

Dede is reportedly an annual salary of 3 million Euros and is expected to conclude talks on a deal with the unnamed Roma representative as they enjoy the final of Europe's second tier tournament.

Ayew has been linked with a host of clubs after saying his goodbyes to Marseille fans in emotional send-off at the weekend but Roma appears to be the frontrunners for his signature, according to agent Satin who is fronting talks for the possible move.

Roma beat cross city rivals, Lazio 2-1 on Monday night to seal second spot in Serie A and it's automatic UEFA Champions' League place for next season, a position likely to influence Ayew's decision.

'I find it as an agreement with Rome, which is linked to the achievement of the team, AS Roma, for a place in the Champions League,' Bruno Satin said.

'He's a great football player, able to realize a lot of goals per season and provide a significant number of assists,' the agent said of the Ghanaian playmaker. Follow @thedonplato
