On Monday, a report from Italy suggested Aaron Ramsey was pushing for a return to Arsenal.
The news came from Corriere dello Sport, who explained the Welshman was ‘first on the list’ of potential sales at Juventus, suggesting they want to get rid of him this summer if they can.
Calciomercato jump on the bandwagon on Tuesday with their own information, claiming Ramsey ‘has in fact decided his desire is to return to Arsenal’.
While ‘it’s not easy to find the right fit, it isn’t impossible either’, with all parties involved ‘working away from the spotlight’ to find some kind of agreement.
A return to the Gunners would be an easy fit, since both he and the club know everything about each other, but Arsenal have made one thing clear: he left on a free, he returns on a free.
For this to happen Ramsey ‘would be willing to lower his wages’, but ‘Juventus have no intention of losing another departure for free’.
That’s why they are looking at including a player in the deal, ‘working to find the right card within the prolific Arsenal youth setup’, with new director of football Federico Cherubini casting his eye on Folarin Balogun.
However, the Gunners want to use him going forward, meaning ‘the search continues’ for the time being, with ‘other names at the centre of the evaluations’.
