Ramsey more expensive than Cristiano Ronaldo

Aaron Ramsey has been struggling with injuries at Juventus and according to Tuttosport newspaper his cost per minute in 2021 is higher than Cristiano Ronaldo’s.

Ramsey joined Juventus on a free transfer from Arsenal in 2019.

He has played 70 games across all competitions with the Bianconeri, but managed only three this season.

Massimiliano Allegri deployed him as a deep-lying playmaker at the beginning of the campaign, a role that the Welshman doesn’t enjoy. The midfielder’s poor physical fitness has done the rest, forcing him to the sidelines for 13 games this season.

Will Ramsey play for Juventus ever again?

According to Tuttosport newspaper, Ramsey’s cost per minute in 2021 is even higher than Cristiano Ronaldo’s.

The Portuguese striker returned to Manchester United in August but had played 11,507 minutes in a Bianconeri shirt since January. His cost per minute was €7,821.

On the other hand, Ramsey has played 840 minutes in 2021, for €8,928 per minute. Oddly, he has played almost as many minutes for his country: 778.

Ramsey’s agent met Juventus earlier this month to plan his exit in January.

Newcastle are among the clubs interested in securing his services, but it’s still unclear whether or not the Magpies are open to paying his full €7m-a-year salary.
