The Aaron Ramsey contract situation is one of the only blemishes that the Gunners have had during the current season.
It is looking more and more likely that the player will end up leaving Arsenal at the end of the season if not earlier.
A few days back, reports in Metro claimed that Bayern Munich had stolen a march over other clubs and were in pole position to sign Ramsey. But, that seems to have changed as per the latest reports in Sun Sport, with the entry of another European giant in the form of Juventus.
The report states that The Italians are looking to sabotage the move that had been planned by Bayern and the way they intend to do that is by offering Ramsey a superior wage package.
Juventus are willing to offer the Welshman £10.4m per year as a way to entice him into choosing Italy as his next destination.
Wages were one of the reasons as to why the Gunners withdrew the contract offer that they had given the midfielder earlier. But, if Juventus are indeed offering the player a deal such as this, it is highly possible that Ramsey will choose them.
The Italian giants have a history of signing players on a free with Andrea Pirlo and Paul Pogba being the more notable success stories. The club is willing to wait until the end of the season and then sign Ramsey for free.
Arsenal would also be interested in letting the midfielder go in the January transfer window as it would mean that they get something for the player rather than letting him leave him for free.
Ramsey has shown over the years that he can always contribute when he is called upon. It is a pity that his stay with the Gunners is going to end this way. Now, it is up to the club to show that they can deal with the increasingly possible departure of the Welshman. Until he leaves the club, the fans will be hoping that he is able to help the club get back into the Champions League.
