Aaron Ramsey EXCLUSIVE: Arsenal ace told dream Juventus transfer hinges on ONE thing
AARON RAMSEY has been told that he will only get the chance of a dream move to Juventus next summer if they miss out on their first-choice target Adrien Rabiot.
Ramsey is out of contract with Arsenal at the end of the season.
The club have withdrawn the offer of a new deal meaning that he is likely to leave.
The Wales international is a target for Juventus but they will only move for him if they cannot land Rabiot.
The France international has rejected four offers of a new deal from French giants Paris Saint-Germain.
Juventus are locked in a battle with Barcelona and Liverpool for Rabiot and will only enter the bidding for Ramsey if they lose out.
Ramsey isn’t going to be short of offers, however, with AC Milan, Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool all keeping tabs on him during this season.
Juventus picked up a high-class free-agent in Emre Can last summer, and are open to another similar transaction with Ramsey.
It is thought that Liverpool are extremely keen to land the 27-year-old, with reports in Italy suggesting they will deliver what Arsenal could not.
Ramsey was bargaining for a much-improved deal with Arsenal that would make him one of the club’s top earners, alongside Mesut Ozil.
The German playmaker earns £300,000-per-week compared to Ramsey’s £110,000.
Ramsey explained his dismay at the impasse in negotiations this week, saying: “Everything has been going great with the club – we thought we were in a position where we had agreed a deal but that’s no longer the case.
“So I just have to carry on playing my football and do my best for Arsenal this season and I’ll leave the rest with the club.
Arsenal fans say Ramsey is a 'snake' if he moves to Man Utd
“Am I disappointed? That’s a decision they have made and things happen in football and you just have to get on with it.
“That’s all I am concentrating on and giving my best for Arsenal.
“Would I stay for the rest of the season? Of course, yeah.
“I am contracted to Arsenal and I am going to do my best to try and achieve something special.”
