English club Liverpool are set to lose out to Roma in the race to sign Marseille winger Andre Ayew, talkSPORTS reports.

Ayew, whose contract with the French club expires at the end of the season, will join the Giallorossi in the summer on a free transfer.

According to Sky Italia, the Ghanaian international will be offered a three-year contract worth around £2m per year.

Liverpool were keen on signing Ayew as they look to bolster their attacking options in the close season.

And according to talkSPORT, it is believed his contract will be a three-year deal worth £2million per year as Roma look to make grounds in the Champions League after exiting the competition at the group stages this season.

The 25-year-old was open to a potential move to Merseyside but with Liverpool's chances of reaching the Champions League all but over, it is thought Ayew has turned his attentions to completing a move to Italy.
