Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri has confirmed that star midfielder Aaron Ramsey will be leaving the club in the next few days. Former Arsenal midfielder is strongly linked with English Premier League return but no official offer was made but now after Allegri’s remarks Newcastle United, West Ham United, and Everton have registered strong interest. Arsenal are also keeping an eye on their former playmaker but his big wages will be an issue for the London giants.
The 31-year-old Wales captain arrived at the Old Lady from Arsenal in summer 2019 on a free transfer. But Ramsey has appeared in just 70 matches for the Turnin side and scored just 6 goals in the last two and half years. He is struggling with fitness and finding it tough to break in Juventus’ midfield lately. The arrival of Luca Pellegrini and Manuel Locatelli the last summer has further restricted his chances with just one Serie A start this season. Weston McKennie, Arthur Melo, Rodrigo Bentancur, and Adrien Rabiot are also ahead of Ramsey in the pecking order for Massimiliano Ramsey.
Massimiliano Allegri, ahead of the AC Milan clash, was asked about Aaron Ramsey’s availability, who was tested positive for the Covid-19 two weeks ago. Italian manager confirmed player testing negative in the latest report but has been training separately from the team and is in England. Which have now sparked the rumors of a probable English move in the next few days.
“Ramsey, he returned today after we had given him a few days off to work, to train separately, in England. In any case, he’s an outgoing player.” – Massimiliano Allegri.
Arsenal Are Unlikely To Move For Aaron Ramsey But Burnely and Newcastle United Set To Bid:
Aaron Ramsey was handed a £400,000-a-week salary which made him the highest-earning British player and his contract expire in June 2023 at Turin. Juventus are desperate to get rid of his wages as the player is unlikely to sign a contract extension with a lower salary. Ramsey is also looking for a Turin exit and is ready to accept lower wages if gets regular game time at the new club.
Mikel Arteta is in the market for a new central midfielder this month and will consider approaching Ramsey’s signature but he will not be a first-choice this month. Juventus midfielder Arthur Melo is strongly linked with Arsenal’s move but it all depends on Juventus finding a replacement first. Aaron Ramsey made 364 appearances with 64 goals for Arsenal in 11 years and fans will be delighted over his return at Emirates Stadium.
Burnley and Newcastle United are expected to bid for Ramsey in the next 7 days and both teams are in the market for new central midfielders. The Magpies are financially well stabled to afford his wages but like Arsenal, he is not a first-choice option for manager Eddie Howe. Everton and Crystal Palace are also looking to contact the player’s representatives but are not in a position to afford his wages this month.
