Ayew has been unattached since the start of the season and is eager to return to competitive football.
To maintain his fitness, the 36-year-old has been training in Ghana with Nania FC, the club owned by his father, as noted by GhanaSoccernet.
However, a move to Europe is widely regarded as essential for him to adapt to the physical demands and intensity of top-level football.
A return to European action is also seen as a strategy to boost his chances of rejoining the Black Stars ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, having been absent from national team duties for over a year.
His last appearance for Ghana came during Ghana's 2-2 international friendly against Uganda on March 26, 2024, at the Grande de Stade Marrakech in Morocco, as Flashscore covered.
Ayew brings a wealth of experience from a career spanning multiple top leagues. Before becoming a free agent, he played for Le Havre in France, adding to his extensive résumé that includes notable spells at Marseille, West Ham United, Swansea City, and Nottingham Forest.
Throughout his career, he has showcased his versatility and leadership on the field, making him a valuable asset for any club seeking an experienced forward.
