Aaron Ramsey signs for OGC Nice after Juventus contract cancelled | OneFootball

Last week, Juventus finally confirmed that Aaron Ramsey was no longer one of their players after an agreement was struck to mutually terminate his contract and the player has now joined OGC Nice.

Juventus and Aaron Ramsey finally parted ways with the Old Lady apparently paying Rambo £3.4m in an agreement to rip up the final year of his deal to get his £400kpw wages off their books.

Nottingham Forest were believed the favourites to sign him this summer on a free transfer but, much to the surprise of everybody in the media, Rambo has penned a deal with OGC Nice in Ligue 1.

Juventus have been trying to get Ramsey to leave the club almost since the minute they signed him on a free from Arsenal and agreed to pay him astronomical wages.

As we reported in June, the Old Lady had given up hopes of being able to find a buyer for the Welshman, while Rangers were not interested in turning his short-term loan deal from the second half of 21/22 into a permanent deal.

At the end of that month, the Daily Record stated that Juventus would pay Ramsey £3.5m to leave the club. Now, The S*n then reported that a £3.4m package has been agreed.

A few clubs had expressed interest in signing Ramsey.

they sold as a youngster to Arsenal.

A move to Turkish side, Fatih Karagumruk, where Ramsey would have reunited with Andre Pirlo, reportedly fell through.

Burnley, Everton, Palace, West Ham, Leeds and Southampton have also been listed as possible destinations, along with a move to the MLS.

Then, it looked like he might end up signing for newly-promoted Nottingham Forest who were the clear favourites for his signature before Nice announced his arrival on Monday.

Ramsey is still only 31.
