According to a recent report by the Sun, Bayern Munich are on the verge of completing a stunning move for Aaron Ramsey from Arsenal. It is understood that the Bavarian giants have won the race to secure the Welshman’s services on a free transfer next summer.
With the Arsenal midfielder set to become a free-agent soon, it seems like Bayern has pounced at the right moment to try and seal a transfer for him at the end of this campaign.
Ramsey’s Exit: A Familiar Tale For The Gunners
However, for the Gunners, it would be an all too familiar story with another one of their first-team stars running down their contracts before leaving for free. The North London giants have seen both Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Alexis Sanchez exit the club in the past two transfer windows so Ramsey’s potential departure could further deplete Unai Emery’s squad as he looks to continue the rebuilding job at the Emirates Stadium over the next few years.
Arsenal have made a fantastic start under Emery this season and are currently on a remarkable unbeaten run across all competitions. Their last defeat came away at Chelsea when they were narrowly beaten by a 3-2 scoreline. Since then, the Gunners have been scoring goals for fun. However, their defence and midfield have looked shaky.
The Ramifications For Ramsey’s Departure
Ramsey’s exit will undoubtedly reduce the quality of the Gunners midfield and to add insult to injury; they would be losing a homegrown player at his prime. It would not be an easy task for Emery to find a worthy replacement for the Welshman which proves how invaluable Ramsey has been for Arsenal over the last few years.
The Welsh sensation is one of Unai Emery’s most creative talents at the Emirates. He is always willing to go that extra mile for his teammates and can dribble with the ball effectively as he looks to make late runs into the opposition penalty area. Despite scoring just one goal in this campaign, Ramsey has acted as a facilitator as he managed to set up four goals in 16 matches in all competitions.
Is It A Huge Set-back For Arsenal?
His likely exit on a free transfer would be another bitter pill to swallow for the Arsenal supporters. There is no doubt that it will be a big blow for the Gunners to recover from despite the Welshman being relegated to mostly appearances from the bench in this Premier League campaign.
