1 million euros per game- Juventus count the cost as they prepare Ramsey pay off

A report in Tuttosport has revealed that Aaron Ramsey has cost Juventus just over 1m euros per game. Celtic fans will say that his role in the Europa League Final was absolutely priceless. 

Three years ago Juventus signed the Welshman as a free agent, the term free relates to Arsenal with the player picking up a contract worth around 12m euros a season. 

Since last summer Juventus have been desperate to offload Ramsey, being injury prone and turning in mediocre performances isn’t a good combination regardless of the wages being paid. 

With no EPL side prepared to go near the Welshman during the January transfer window Kris Boyd led the cheerleading as he moved to Ibrox on transfer deadline day. 

Rambo never managed to play a full 90 minutes in the blue Castore kit but went the full distance for Wales as they beat Austria and Ukraine to reach the World Cup Finals in Qatar. 

Breaking down finances at Juventus, Tuttosport reports:   

They say that, in examining the accounts of Juventus , Maurizio Arrivabene was startled by the relationship between salary and performance of some players of the Juventus squad. 

Approaching a different logic than football, he heard certain numbers screeching. It is true that you cannot have a perfectly meritocratic correspondence of salary and performance, but the case of Aaron Ramsey jumps in his eyes: in his first three years with Juventus (six months of which on loan to Rangers), he played 34 games as a starter and cost a gross salary of 35 million, more than a million per game, in very few of which he left indelible memories. 

Obviously the Rangers will not redeem him and therefore the Juventus management will find themselves struggling with a desperate attempt to find a solution. Or, at this point, a … consensual termination of the contract that will not save all the 14 million gross, but at least part of it. However small it may be, it will still be useful in a market that Juventus must face with the obligation of sustainability.

With the World Cup Finals in November any club signing Rambo after his Juventus pay-off will know where his priorities lie.
