Arsenal icon Aaron Ramsey ‘tricked’ into signing Juventus contract termination

Aaron Ramsey has unknowingly signed a contract termination at Juventus after falling for a mean prank pulled by one of the Italian giant's fans.

The Welshman moved to Juventus in 2019 after his Arsenal contract expired, but after failing to make an impact at the club he's wanted out by the locals. His situation is similar to what Welsh team-mate Gareth Bale was experiencing at Real Madrid as he was also on high wages despite not being a big role in the team.

Ramsey has a year left on his deal, and it's unlikely he will look to move on this summer as he sees out the remainder of his bumper contract. But one fan has taken matters into their own hands to try and get Ramsey out of Juventus.

With the Welshman already told he's not in Massimiliano Allegri's plans, Juventus fans are desperate for Ramsey to leave the club. Understandably, Ramsey is keen to see out the rest of his deal and leave on a free transfer next summer, but one fan took matters into their own fans and took advantage of a rare opportunity when meeting the midfielder.

Ramsey was signing autographs for fans following his return to the club’s training facility, but perhaps the Welshman should brush up on his Italian. One fan got Ramsey to sign a piece of paper with the words ‘rescissione contrattuale’, which literally translates to ‘contract termination’.

His signature was seen underneath, with fans campaigning to get him out of the club. Unfortunately though, as this isn't an official document or agreement their efforts will not come to anything, although it's an embarrassing incident for Ramsey.

Ramsey will be free to leave Juventus next summer, with many predicting that he could follow Bale to LAFC in MLS. But he will be paid £20million in salary while he mulls over his future over the next 12 months.

Back in February 2019, Ramsey signed a pre-contract agreement with Juventus after running down his contract with Arsenal. The Welshman signed on the dotted line to receive £400,000-a-week for four years in Turin, although it's a deal the Italian side now regret.

Ramsey became the highest paid British player of all-time, and made 46 Serie A appearances across his first two seasons in Turin. He scored five goals too, but things very quickly turned for the midfielder and he was loaned to Rangers last season.
