Rangers ‘inform’ Juventus of position on Aaron Ramsey permanent transfer amid injury problems
AARON RAMSEY will return to Juventus in the summer with Rangers not prepared to sign him on a permanent basis, reports claim.
The Welshman has played only 94 minutes for the Scottish champions since arriving on a loan on transfer deadline day, and his fitness problems don't seem to be going away.
Ramsey will miss tomorrow's game against St Johnstone and Rangers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst has admitted he doesn't know exactly when the midfielder will be able to return to competitive action.
His only start for the Light Blues came against Annan in the Scottish Cup and he hasn't featured at all since making a late substitute appearance in Gers' first leg win over Borussia Dortmund nearly two weeks ago.
The former Arsenal hero, 31, is on a massive contract with the Italian giants which was reported to be in the region of £400,000 a week but his fitness troubles mean that Juve have effectively paid him £7,000 per MINUTE since he joined from the Gunners.
It's believed the Serie A club are covering most of Ramsey's pay packet while he's in Glasgow.
Come the end of the season Rangers would have had to make a call on whether to keep Ramsey around, with his career in Turin all but over.
However, according to , Ibrox chiefs have already informed Juventus of their decision to NOT make the move permanent and Ramsey will return to Italy in the summer.
