Arsenal may well allow Aaron Ramsey to leave the Emirates Stadium for Juventus this month, if they can bring in Juve defender Mehdi Benatia, according to reports in Italy, cited by the Daily Mail.
The Welshman, who started against Blackpool in the FA Cup on Saturday, is expected to leave the Gunners when his contract expires at the end of the season, with Italian giants Juventus prepared to make the midfielder their third highest earner behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Paulo Dybala.
And with Arsenal boss Unai Emery keen to add to his defensive options this month, reports suggest that Ramsey may well be allowed to leave for Juve in the coming weeks if Morocco international Benatia heads for London.
Benatia, 31, has failed to nail down a regular starting spot ahead of the likes of Leaonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini this season, despite being a regular during his first two years in Italy.
The former Bayern Munich defender has been regarded as one of Europe’s best over the past four years and Emery may well allow Ramsey to leave earlier than expected if he can secure the experienced defender’s services in the coming weeks.
