Arsenal: Aaron Ramsey takes the money and lingers
Arsenal can continue to pick and play Aaron Ramey until the season ends at which point he’ll head to Italy for five years, says Sky Sports. Ramsey will earn around £140,000-a-week at Juventus – around the same fee Arsenal will have to pay him until his contract expires. Arsenal will get no transfer fee for the Welshman. After ten years at Arsenal, Ramsey is now stinking out the place. The one issue is that Sky’s story has no quotes to support it. No word from Ramsey. No word from Arsenal. Just a fact floating in the internet ether. And good enough for the Guardian:
We’ve been here before:
Ramsey joined Arsenal from Cardiff for £4.8m. He played 252 Premier League matches for the Gunners. He scored 52 goals, including the winning goals in the 2014 and 2017 finals.
Arsenal should have secured a transfer fee for a decent player in the prime of his career. You wonder what the previous regime under the dire Ivan Gazidis was up to. But it’s not over. There is chance the Gunners will get some cash for the player they developed. I hear through the grapevine that Real Madrid are looking to pay some money to get Ramsey this month. Watch this space…
