Aaron Ramsey says goodbye to Arsenal: Leave before it's too late
(Baonghean.vn) - After 10 years of dedication to the Emirates Stadium team, the handsome Welsh midfielder finally said goodbye to the "gunners" at the beginning of the winter transfer window.
Previously, many big teams wanted to recruit this 28-year-old midfielder such as: Real Madrid, PSG, Inter Milan and Bayern Munich, but in the end, Aaron Ramsey's destination was Juventus Club in Serie A, with a contract of 4.5 years.

The reason for Ramsey's departure is that his contract will expire this summer, but Arsenal's Board of Directors has not shown any signs of renewing his contract, even though the player is still an important player in the hands of coach Unai Emery.
However, if he stays at Arsenal, Ramsey still cannot find a regular position when the Gunners' midfield is very crowded and the position that Ramsey used to hold has now fallen into the hands of Uruguayan player Lucas Torreira.
Along with that, young players like Maitland-Niles and Matteo Guendouzi are also growing up and playing regularly, not to mention this winter transfer window, the Gunners have just successfully recruited Denis Suarez from Barca for 14 million pounds. On the other hand, under the reign of coach Unai Emery, no one is irreplaceable.
Meanwhile, the team at the top of the Serie A rankings, Juventus, with the ambition to reach the big sea of Europe, wants to affirm its position as a giant of world football, has spared no expense to recruit high-class players such as Portuguese superstar C. Ronaldo with the amount of 118 million Euros as an example. For Ramsey personally, when he is no longer appreciated at the Emirets stadium, leaving to find a new destination is a reasonable thing.
Because Ramsey's contract with Arsenal only expires in the summer of 2019, the amount of money that the "Old Lady of Turin" spent to recruit this player is quite low, only about 10 million Euros. However, they spent up to 9 million Euros on Ramsey's agent as a way to beat PSG in this transfer deal. It is known that the salary that Juventus has to pay Ramsey is about 7 million Euros per season. Arriving in Turin, Ramsey will be able to play regularly if he maintains his form.

Arsenal coach Unai Emery is looking to strengthen his central defence, as many of the Gunners' central defenders are currently injured as the season enters its final stretch. It is therefore understandable that the deal was finalised in the early days of the winter transfer window.
During his 10 years at Arsenal (2008 to 2018), the midfielder born in 1990 played a total of 352 matches and scored 60 goals. During that time, Aaron Ramsey and the Gunners won 3 FA Cup championships in 2014, 2015, and 2017.
