No matter how hard they try, the Italian newspapers are unable to avoid writing a story about Aaron Ramsey and a potential transfer to Newcastle United.
That’s because the Magpies are one of the only viable options for the Welshman, especially after Max Allegri made it clear on Wednesday that he wasn’t counting on the midfielder.
In fact, Tuttosport claim that the Newcastle option is ‘getting hotter and hotter’, and ‘the next few days will be decisive’.
Juventus, down their end, are hoping for the ‘happy ending’ of waving Ramsey goodbye, ‘even if only on loan’, as this would lower their wage budget by a nice chunk.
The issue beyond that would be to find him a permanent landing spot, but a good loan under Eddie Howe at St James’ Park could be exactly what the 31-year-old needs to rekindle his career after what has been a very disappointing spell in Italy.
Perhaps once Kieran Trippier’s deal is sorted, Newcastle will be able to move onto this one?
