Juventus ‘offer Aaron Ramsey to Barcelona in swap transfer for Miralem Pjanic – but huge wages could scupper deal’
JUVENTUS have reportedly offered Aaron Ramsey in exchange to Barcelona for Miralem Pjanic.
The Bosnian midfielder, 31, is believed to want a return to Turin having spent four campaigns there from 2016.
He left a year ago to head to the Nou Camp but is allegedly unhappy at the Catalans.
Juventus were dealt an injury blow this week when Arthur was sidelined for three month.
The Brazilian underwent surgery this weekend leaving Max Allegri looking for a replacement.
According to , the Serie A giants are pushing to bring Pjanic back and have told Barcelona they are willing to make ex-Arsenal ace Ramsey part of the deal.
However, the 30-year-old Wales international’s £400,000-a-week wages could provide a major issue.
Barcelona are desperate to offload several big earners in order to free up room on their salary budget to extend Lionel Messi’s contract.
That includes Pjanic’s £7.71million-a-year package.
But Ramsey’s mega wages are also too high for Barca to match and they ‘do not seem convinced by the offer’ made to them.
Juventus are reportedly ready to sell Ramsey, who has failed to make a significant impact since arriving on a free from the Gunners in 2019.

The Sassuolo player, fresh off starring for Italy at Euro 2020, is nearing a move to Juventus for a reported fee of £25m plus a Bianconeri player.
That could push Ramsey towards the exit door having scored just six goals in 65 matches for the club.
