Just a rumour, but wouldn't surprise me. Also mentioned in The Times, The Daily Mail and T*e Sun.

Juventus are ready to sell Aaron Ramsey just a year after signing him from Arsenal as they try to save on his £400,000-a-week wages, with Manchester United a potential destination for the 29-year-old Wales midfielder.
It’s hard to argue about what might have been in regards the career he’s had but I’d have loved him to have signed for Man United. I’d imagine some of their support would take him over Pogba for now.Quote:

Ramsey hasn't been a £400,000 a week player for Juventus.
I don't think he is anyway. He's a brilliant player but for me, he's to slow on the ball at times.Quote:

sign him up Vinnie
That’s not comparing apples with apples though is it?Quote:

I only see Utd as a viable option for him, I’d love for him to go to Dortmund we’re the fans adore you after all the shit he took at arsenal
If Barca can sign Kevin Prince then anything is possible :hehe:Quote:

i wonder what type of transfer fee would they want ? ? ?
fair play to the lad, he has had a decent payday over in Italy :thumbup:
Had this conversation yesterday as it goes. He wouldn't be in that wage had they paid a transfer fee for him, I'm still hungover so can't be arsed to do the maths..but I'd guess it's cheaper for them to pay the higher wages than buy someone and give them a lower wage.Quote:

He's 1 year in to a 4 year deal at £400,000 a week. (approximately £60,000,000 left to pay) And he turns 30 this year. They are going to have to pay him to terminate his contract. I should imagine he'd want at least half of that.
They will look to sell him to recoup their losses on his salary contract. They got him for nothing, remember (except for the signing on fee, agents fees, relocation costs, and his massive salary, of course....).
At least he can speak Italian now.
