Aberdeen have opened talks with Jonny Hayes as they attempt to resign their former winger after his release from Celtic.
According to a report, the Dons have offered the 32-year-old, who left Pittodrie in 2017, a two-year deal and want an answer in double-quick time so that the Irishman can start pre-season training with his new team-mates this week.
Hayes is understood to be willing to accept a substantial reduction on his Parkhead wages to seal a return to the north-east, with promoted Championship winners Dundee United among his other suitors.
Dons chairman Dave Cormack has previously opened up on his “love” for attacker Hayes.
