Andre Ayew rules out January exit from Marseille, wants to win Ligue 1 title
Andre Ayew has ruled out leaving Olympique Marseille in January – insisting he wants to win his first ever Ligue 1 title before his possible departure from the club.
The 25-year-old is out of contract in the summer with ongoing talks to extend his stay with the French giants.
Marseille are torn between a decision to sell their talismanic forward in January or risk losing him as a free agent when his contract runs out.
But the Ghana international is desperate to pick up his first Ligue 1 winner's medal with Marseille with the club maintaining its one-point lead over PSG.
The son of Ghana legend Abedi Pele has now confirmed he wants to remain with the side at least until after winning the Ligue 1 title with Marseille.
“I want to stay and I would be champion with OM,” he said on Friday morning in response to rising rumours over his uncertain future at his club.
“I remain open to discussions and I have very good relationship with the president.”
Ayew has been with Marseille throughout his juvenile and professional career except for a short loan stint at Arles Avignon in 2009.
