Andre Ayew shed tears in last game for Marseille
Ghanaian star Andre Ayew shed tears as he left the Stade Velodrome on Saturday after playing his last game for his French club, Olympique Marseille.
The 25-year-old star is leaving the club after spending a good amount of time in France after failing to renew the contract.
He has been with Olympique Marseille since he started playing football back in 2007.
His father, Abedi, was a great footballer who helped Marseille win the UEFA Champions League title back in 1993, when they beat AC Milan 1-0 to clinch their first European success.
Marseille officials said they wanted to keep him for the next season, but were unable to pay his wages.
Ayew couldn’t hold back his tears in his last game for Marseille, as the home side thrash Bastia 3-0.
Speaking after the match, a highly emotional Ayew told the crowd: “I am proud of what I achieve here; the crowd is so much supportive, I would like to thank everyone, as the club has given me everything.”
He was given special boots customised in Marseille colors for the game on Saturday.
The Black Stars player is on the radar of many clubs such as Inter Milan, AS Roma, Napoli, Liverpool, Spurs, Dortmund and Newcastle.
