Juventus encourage Man Utd to take £400,000-a-week Ramsey off their hands

Juventus are eager to clear Aaron Ramsey off their books.

The Daily Mail says Ramsey could be one of the first victims of football's COVID-19 recession after it emerged that Juventus are open to selling the Wales star.

Two top English clubs have been alerted to Ramsey's availability this week ahead of the summer transfer window that is expected to open at the back end of next month.

The 29-year-old only moved to Juventus last July after running down his contract at Arsenal.

One problem for Juventus is Ramsey's huge wage. Having arrived on a free transfer the midfielder has a contract until the summer of 2023 that pays him an astonishing £400,000 a week. This could prove prohibitive as the club look to move him on.

In England, clubs such as Manchester United would definitely have an interest but not at that salary.
