Juventus confirm Aaron Ramsey will LEAVE in January with Newcastle leading transfer race after he ‘snubs Burnley move’
AARON RAMSEY is set to leave Juventus this month, the club have confirmed.
The Wales international has been tipped for a return to the Premier League, with mega-rich Newcastle leading the race for his signature.
Fellow strugglers Burnley are reported to have entered the fray but Ramsey is said to have rejected an approach by the Clarets.
The 31-year-old left Arsenal for the Serie A giants back in July 2019.
But Juve boss Massimiliano Allegri confirmed his impending exit in the current transfer window.
He said: “Aaron Ramsey’s now set to leave Juventus. We’re working on it.

The midfielder is said to want to move to one of England’s biggest clubs if he does leave Turin.
Tyneside appears the most likely destination, although boss Eddie Howe is currently concentrating on bringing in Kieran Trippier from Atletico Madrid.
There is a different Atletico connection to Juve’s current transfer dealings.
Allegri confirmed striker Alvaro Morata - on loan from the Wanda Metropolitano - will be staying at the club rather than heading to Barcelona as has been rumoured.
