Ex-Arsenal star Aaron Ramsey set for free transfer as Juventus TERMINATE £400k contract in brutal 13-word statement
JUVENTUS have announced the termination of Aaron Ramsey’s contract in a brutal 13-word statement.
The Italian giants signed the former Arsenal star on a free transfer on reported £400,000 a week wages back in 2019.
Ramsey’s move didn’t gone to plan, however, as he struggled to stay fit during his time in Turin.
After just 69 appearances for Juve in two-and-a-half years he signed for Rangers on loan in January.
He also struggled to stay fit in Glasgow, making only 13 appearances and suffering Europa League heartache by missing the crucial penalty during May’s final defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt.
Ramsey reported back to Juventus for medical tests earlier this month, but has now agreed to have his deal ended.
