Arsenal eyeing La Liga star as Aaron Ramsey replacement

The Welshman is entering the final months of his current deal

Aaron Ramsey is entering the final months of his current deal and yet to commit himself to a long term agreement. Talks have been going on with his representative for a new contract over the past few months that have yet to result in agreement.

Arsenal rejected a £50 million bid for the midfielder’s services this summer as they appeared confident of keeping him for a foreseeable future.

Premier League giants new manager Unai Emery even insisted before the start of the current campaign that he sees the Wales International as a key part of his future plans and has urged the club to offer him a new contract.

But reports emerged on Thursday that talks over a new deal has broke down and the 27 year old has reportedly turned down club’s latest offer. With no new offer forthcoming it has been suggested he could leave the club as a free agent at the end of the season, with clubs like Juventus, AC Milan, Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea interested in signing him.

Arsenal is looking to Sevilla’s Ever Banega as a potential Aaron Ramsey replacement, according to the Mirror.

The Argentina International joined the La Liga giants back in 2014 and played a key role in the side that won consecutive Europa League trophies in 2015 and 2016. He joined Inter Milan in 2016 but returned back to club after just 1 year.

The midfielder previously worked with Emery during the manager’s days at the Spanish club. He was also keen to bring him in the summer. But the player decided to extend his second spell with the club.

However, he is still interested in bringing the Argentine as the 46 year old believes he would add experience to the squad. He has an £18 million buy-out clause to land him before his contract expires at the end of the season.
