Juve new coach, Pirlo, declares Ramsey surplus to requirement
Former Arsenal midfielder, Aaron Ramsey, is not wanted by Juventus new manager, Andrea Pirlo, and has been told he is free to find another club.
The 29-year-old Welsh star, who joined Juventus on a free transfer last summer, started only 11 Serie A matches last season. But his wages of £250,000-a-week limit his options.
Pirlo was announced as the new Juventus head coach on Sunday to replace Maurizio Sarri.
The Italian also wants to offload Gonzalo Higuain, Sami Khedira, Daniele Rugani and Mattia De Sciglio, while Blaise Matuidi is already set to move on.
France World Cup winner Matuidi underwent a medical with David Beckham’s Inter Miami on Monday before signing a three-year deal.
Beckham knows Matuidi from playing together at Paris Saint-Germain.
Inter Miami have lost their first five MLS matches and scored only three goals, but the acquisition of Matuidi would represent a first marquee signing for the newly-formed franchise.
Matuidi’s departure does lessen the competition for places in Juventus’ central midfield positions, but Ramsey still has the likes of Adrien Rabiot, Rodrigo Bentancur and the incoming Arthur Melo to contend with.
