Aaron Ramsey is no longer a big deal to Italian Serie A giants Juventus as they are reportedly ready to offload him one season after signing him from Arsenal football club as a free agent.
The football star spent over a decade at Arsenal. He joined the Premier League club from Cardiff City in 2008. While at Arsenal, he helped the club to win three FA Cup titles and became the most important player at the club until 2019 when his contract expired.
To the dismay of Arsenal’s fans, the club failed to renew his contract which subsequently forced him to leave Arsenal under the reign of Unai Emery and cash-in on the bumper offer from Juventus.
Ramsey is not too Impressive
Since the 29-year-old Welshman joined Juventus last summer, it has been a bit difficult for him to settle down with the club as he has managed to score four goals in 23 appearances in all competitions.
Just recently, Ramsey told ‘The Athletic’ that the approach to games in the Italian Serie A is quite different from that of the Premier League. The midfielder said though his last coach at Arsenal, Unai Emery, gave a lot of attention to tactics, his current coach at Juventus is even more thorough.
“It’s different from what I’m used to,” he said. “Even though last season under Unai Emery was going through a lot of things on pictures as well for tactical reasons, Maurizio Sarri does like to go over things very thoroughly.
“Tactics here, especially in Italy, are such a big thing. Most days, we’ll be doing some sort of tactical work in preparation for the next game.”
Aaron Ramsey takes too much
Besides the fact that Juventus feel they have not been getting value for money from the former Arsenal star, it is being speculated that the coronavirus pandemic has greater affected the finances of the Italian giant, hence, the midfielder could be one of the players the club could sacrifice to reduce their financial burden.
Aaron Ramsey earns about £400,000 at Juventus every week, making him one of the highest-paid player at the club, and one of the less impressive stars on Maurizio Sarri’s players’ list. Hence, Juventus say they are ready to sell him or send him on loan this summer.
Recent speculations are suggesting that Manchester United are monitoring the development and they might be tempted to make an offer. But bringing a midfielder like Aaron Ramsey to Manchester United at the time the club has Paul Pogba, Bruno Fernandes and Scott McTominay could be seen as unnecessary recruitment. Probably it is a sign that Pogba is still unsettled at United or the club is looking for a reliable back up.
Even if United will go for Ramsey, that could work if the player is ready to take a drastic pay cut which could see him earn less than half of what he is currently earning at Juventus.
Also, there are speculations that another Premier League club has been notified of the availability of the midfielder and pundits are suspecting that it could be Arsenal football club. In whichever way, no club in Europe will be willing to offer Ramsey the deal he is currently enjoying at Juventus at this critical time.
