Juventus leave Ramsey out of US pre-season tour

Aaron Ramsey

Aaron Ramsey will not join the Juventus squad on their pre-season tour in the United States, remaining in Turin as contract termination talks continue.

The 31-year-old Welsh midfielder returned from an adequate loan spell with Rangers recently and showed up as usual in Turin to join the squad for the pre-season retreat, but he’s not expected to be brought on the US tour.

Calciomercato.com details how Juventus are still in talks with Ramsey’s entourage to try and agree a contract termination, ending his ties to Turin a year early. The one year remaining on his contract would cost the Bianconeri €7m plus add-ons, so they’re cut to cut ties this summer.

Juventus have offered €2m as severance compensation, but the 31-year-old Welshman would is asking for €4m. The Old Lady are hoping the upcoming World Cup in Qatar will convince Ramsey to move fast in order to find a club where he’ll receive sufficient playing time in the run up to Wales’ campaign.
