Juventus offer ‘unwanted’ Ramsey to Chelsea as Pirlo looks to clear the decks

Aaron Ramsey is not wanted by Andrea Pirlo, with the former Arsenal star nearing the exit door as the new Juventus boss clears the decks ahead of the upcoming campaign.

The 29-year-old has had an underwhelming debut season in Turin, with a series of injuries and a lack of minutes blighting the Welshman’s contributions to the all-conquering Italians.

Ramsey has scored three goals and provided one assist in his 24 Serie A outings for the Old Lady this season.

The former Arsenal star, who joined Juventus on a free transfer last summer, is surplus to requirements under the new regime.

Ramsey, 29, started only 11 Serie A matches last season. But his wages of £250,000-a-week limit his options.

And according to The Mirror, Pirlo is looking to offload the Welshman, who is reportedly on £250,000-per-week, as part of a summer clear out ahead of the 2020-21 season.

The midfielder has been linked with a return to the Premier League amid claims of Juve offering him to Chelsea.

The Juventus legend also wants to sell Gonzalo Higuain, Daniele Rugani, Sami Khedira and Mattia De Sciglio.

With the likes of Adrien Rabiot, Rodrigo Bentancur and Arthur Melo, who is set to arrive from Barcelona, ahead of him in the pecking order, Ramsey’s first-team opportunities will be limited.
