Reported Arsenal and Newcastle transfer target Aaron Ramsey will say his goodbyes at Juventus on Monday, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Ramsey left Arsenal for Juve in 2019, signing a four-year deal in Turin, but although he’s helped the Old Lady to silverware, he hasn’t played as significant a role as was initially anticipated.

The 31-year-old only made 13 starts in Serie A last season and he’s only played 112 minutes of football across all competitions so far this season, with injuries not helping his cause.

Newcastle and Arsenal target update

Newcastle have been linked with interest in bringing him back to the Premier League [CalcioMercato], as have Leeds, Everton, West Ham and last but certainly not least, his former club Arsenal [Marca].

Earlier this week, CalcioMercato reported that Ramsey’s agent was set for fresh talks with Juventus about a January exit for his player and now, his departure appears to be imminent.

La Gazetta dello Sport reports that the Wales international is set to return to Juve training on Monday, but that after talks with several clubs through his representatives in recent days, it will only be to say his goodbyes to teammates and club staff.

Ramsey on the move

This is exciting news for fans of the clubs linked with Ramsey.

The midfielder’s recent injury problems are a lingering concern but Arsenal surely have a big advantage in the transfer race if they are genuinely interested, given the emotional factor for the player.

He would bring valuable experience and quality to an Emirates dressing room that’s full of exciting young talent.

Newcastle may find it difficult to convince such a high profile player to sign up for a relegation fight, but judging by this report, it won’t be long before Magpies fans find out whether their club’s interest will end in delight or disappointment.
