Aaron Ramsey contract revealed: Arsenal star to earn THIS MUCH from Juventus deal
AARON RAMSEY is set for a mega pay rise if he joins Juventus in the summer.
Arsenal have failed to convince Ramsey to stay at the club and sign a new deal.
The Wales international’s current terms expire at the end of the season and he can sign a pre-contract agreement with Juventus TODAY.
And Italian newspaper Tuttosport claim to have information about the player’s proposed contract.
According to the report, Ramsey will earn a base salary of £5.84m (€6.5m) a season.
That boils down to 112,000 a week - almost exactly what Ramsey is earning at Arsenal right now.
But Juve have installed some performance-related incentives that could see the player greatly increase his earnings.
Tuttosport claim that he will pick up an extra £900,000 (€1m) each season if he plays over 50 per cent of Juve’s games.
That can increase by a further €900,000 if he plays 70 per cent of their fixtures in a campaign.
And the report adds that his agents will demand just under £8m for negotiating the contract.
Ramsey was looking to double his wages at Arsenal to around £220,000 a week - but the Gunners were not interested in the demands and withdrew their own offer before Christmas.
Juve are willing to make the Welshman one of their highest-paid players as they know they will not have to hand Arsenal a penny in transfer fees.
It is said Juve board member Fabio Paratici has spoken to Ramsey’s agents about a deal and that the Italian giants are in ‘pole position’ to get it over the line.

Tuttosport add that both PSG and Real Madrid would be interested in securing Ramsey’s services.
But Juve hope to close out the deal between New Year’s Day and the end of the week.
