Sport are reporting today that Tottenham Hotspur and Wolverhampton Wanderers are in talks with Juventus over the signing of Aaron Ramsey.

What’s the story?

It is being reported by Spanish publication Sport that Juventus will sell Ramsey to bring in Miralem Pjanic from Barcelona.

Juventus are in talks with Wolves and Spurs over selling former Arsenal midfielder Ramsey.

The former Italian champions will let the Wales international midfielder leave on the cheap and even on a free transfer so that they can bring in Pjanic.

The Barcelona midfielder is ready to accept a pay-cut to return to Juventus on a season-long loan deal.

Controversial potential signing for Tottenham

Tottenham’s new managing director of football, Fabio Paratici, knows Ramsey well from his time at Juventus.

It is very likely that it is the Italian transfer guru who is driving Spurs’ interest in the 30-year-old, who made 262 appearances in the Premier League and scored 40 goals.

However, it would be a very controversial signing.

Why?

Because Ramsey is a former Arsenal player.

The midfielder played for the Gunners from 2008 until 2019 when he left for Juventus on a free transfer.

Ramsey made as many as 371 appearances in all competitions for Arsenal.

Now, of course, you will find examples of players turning out for both Arsenal and Tottenham, but it would still be a very controversial signing.
