Why Juventus can finally cut Ramsey off the wage bill

Juventus hope to finally convince Aaron Ramsey to terminate his contract by mutual consent and there is a development making it easier for that to happen.

The Wales international has long been considered something of a burden on the club coffers, as he arrived on a free transfer from Arsenal in 2019 and as such was given a huge €7m per season salary.

However, his experience in Turin was dominated by injuries and poor form, so he only made 70 competitive appearances for the club, scoring six goals with six assists.

The 31-year-old spent the last six months on loan at Glasgow Rangers, playing 13 games with two goals and two assists.

According to Calciomercato.com, something has changed that will make Ramsey more amenable to terminating his contract early.

That is the fact his agents will still pocket a bonus worth €2.8m, which they earned by staying at Juve through 2021.

It is also reported that his agent David Baldwin is in Italy at the moment to discuss the situation with the Bianconeri directors.

The aim is to terminate the contract early by mutual consent and take his salary off the bill, as Juventus don’t believe they can find a buyer ready to pay a transfer fee and take on those wages.
