Aaron Ramsey handed transfer blow with ex-Arsenal star and Juventus outcast ‘not on Watford’s wishlist’

AARON RAMSEY has suffered a transfer blow with a report claiming that he is not on Watford’s list of summer targets.

The former Arsenal ace is no longer wanted by the Italian giants Juventus and is set to land a whopping £3.4MILLION pay-off.

The 31-year-old Welsh international still has another year remaining on his £400,000-a-week contract.

We reported this week how Juventus and Ramsey are in negotiations to work out a compensation package to rip up his deal.

A number of clubs have been linked with the midfielder, including a recent report that claimed relegated Watford wanted to snap him up for the Championship.

However, now has claimed that the Hornets “do not have Ramsey on their wish list” for this transfer window.

They also state that Ramsey will be departing Juventus no matter what.

Ramsey was left out of Juventus' pre-season tour to the United States - and received no squad number on the 2022-23 list.

One cheeky fan even tried to prank the Welshman into signing his own contract termination.

The ace - who aims to be representing his nation at the World Cup this winter - spent the second half of last season on loan at Rangers but his future remains unclear.

Moves to Galatasaray and Fatih Karagumruk in Turkey have fallen through, while staying in Italy with newly-promoted AC Monza is another option.

Although it is understood he would like to return back to British football with the Premier League or even boyhood club Cardiff City potential destinations.

Juventus have already snapped up a replacement for Ramsey by landing Paul Pogba on a free.
