Juventus have made contact with Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United and Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United to offload Aaron Ramsey, according to 90min.
90min have reported that Juventus made contact with Burnley, Leeds, Crystal Palace and Newcastle over the past week and have offered them former Arsenal midfielder Ramsey.
The report has added that Leeds, Palace, Burnley and Newcastle have not ruled out a move for the Wales international midfielder yet.
Could Aaron Ramsey join Leeds or Newcastle?
In our view, Ramsey should consider a move to Leeds or Newcastle in the January transfer window, at least on loan until the end of the season.
Juventus clearly do not want the 31-year-old midfielder, and, in our view, he is unlikely to get much playing time at the Italian club.
Ramsey has made one start and two substitute appearances in Serie A and has made two substitute appearances in the Champions League for Juventus so far this season.
Both Leeds and Newcastle are big clubs, and both are fighting for survival in the Premier League at the moment.
Ramsey could go straight into the Leeds or Newcastle starting lineup, and his dynamic and box-to-box approach would make them better.
However, there is one big problem.
Ramsey reportedly earns £400,000 per week as salary.
Now, Juventus will surely want interested clubs to pay that salary in full or at least cover most of it.
Would Leeds or Newcastle be willing to do that?
