Aaron Ramsey future in doubt as Juventus want transfer exit for £400k-a-week midfielder and replace him with Locatelli
JUVENTUS are reportedly ready to sell Aaron Ramsey this summer in a bid to cut their wage bill.
The former Arsenal midfielder arrived on a free transfer in 2019 but has failed to make a significant impact in Turin.
New coach Massimiliano Allegri is not thought to be a huge fan of the Welshman amid his pursuit of Manuel Locatelli.
The Sassuolo player, fresh off starring for Italy at Euro 2020, is nearing a move to Juventus for a reported fee of £25million plus a Bianconeri player.
That could push Ramsey towards the exit door having scored just six goals in 65 matches for the club.
According to , Juve are ready to consider offers but are yet to find a suitable buyer for the 30-year-old.
Cutting the wage bill is said to be a key aspect of their summer business with Ramsey reportedly earning £400,000-a-week.
However that figure is said to be closer to £135,000-a-week after bonuses by other outlets.
