Juventus set to hijack Bayern Munich’s deal for Aaron Ramsey

Several reports say Juventus have offered Aaron Ramsey a whopping £10.4million-a-year deal to reject Bayern Munich. 

The Arsenal star is due to leave the Emirates either in January or next summer, when Ramsey’s current deal expires. Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool are among elite clubs chasing the transfer, but it is the foreign clubs who have made the first moves.

However, Ramsey is free to talk to foreign clubs in January and can sign a pre-contract. 

The Sun claims the Old Ladies of Turin are attempting to hijack Bayern’s move for Ramsey after it was rumored the Welshman was on the verge of agreeing a deal with the German giants. 

The Italian champions want Ramsey to see out his contract with Arsenal, so that he can join on a free transfer in the summer.

Juventus has offered a £200,000-a-week deal and are happy to sign the 27-year-old up to a four-year contract, which implies the Gunner would collect £40m in total before tax. 

Ramsey’s situation is being monitored by several English clubs, but may not be able to compete with the wage package offer from Juventus. 

Ramsey is reportedly keen to remain in the Premier League, but the lure of a lucrative deal from Juventus may be too much to reject.

Arsenal have accepted to let Ramsey leave after withdrawing their contract offer at the request of Unai Emery. 

Emery is reported to want to use the money that could be spent on tying Ramsey down to a new deal on his own signings. 

Ramsey could be offloaded in January, and are preparing for the prospect of losing the Welshman mid-way through the season.
