Currently with the Wales squad at the 2020 Euros, Aaron Ramsey will be focused on the international competition for the time being.
Once that’s all over, however, it will be time for some holidays followed by an important decision regarding his future at Juventus, which looks bleaker by the day.
Thankfully for him, a handful of teams in the Premier League, including West Ham United, are interested in his services should he decide to leave Turin and return to the United Kingdom.
Gazzetta dello Sport look at his situation on Wednesday and explain ‘the idea of leaving Turin is there, but the feasibility of the operation must be studied’.
While Juventus could make a sale from a former free transfer and make some profit, they are aware his rather high wages of €7m a year ‘represents a big limit’.
This means that in order to get a transfer, he would have to ‘renounce part of the contract’ that binds him to Juventus, and should there be no definitive agreement on a permanent move, ‘the compromise could be that of a loan’.
Ramsey ‘does not seem to be in a hurry to close at the first offer’, but ‘one thing is (almost certain)’, and that is ‘Ramsey’s time in Turin has come to an end’.
The Hammers know what they need to do, and with a need for a central midfielder going forward, could give him the same opportunity they handed Jesse Lingard: reviving his career under a manager who believes in the player.
The ball is now in the court of David Moyes and co., who will have to open their wage budget if they want to bring the Welshman to London Stadium.
