Aaron Ramsey risks Juventus release as star on Newcastle United's radar could be free agent in January

It's reported that Juventus are keen to release Aaron Ramsey from his contract, with the Welsh international potentially a free agent in January amid Newcastle interest.

The midfielder joined the Italian giants from Arsenal in 2019 after turning down a new contract in London.

However, familiar injury issues have plagued him in Serie A, with Ramsey managing to complete 90 minutes just four times since arriving in Turin.

Over the past seven months he's managed more minutes for Wales than for Juve, with the 30-year-old pointing the finger of blame at the Bianconeri .

Ramsey said last month: "The training philosophy and methods are different at my club than they are here (Wales).

"There are a number of people here who have a number of years of managing me so they know how to get the best out of me and so I am able to play a number of games in a row. As I showed in the Euros this year, I’m capable of doing that and producing good performances."

Ramsey is one of Juve's highest earners on €7m (£6m) net per season at a time when the club are looking to cut costs.

And according to Corriere di Torino, they are considering resolving his contract in Turin.

The newspaper reports that talks are ongoing with Ramsey's agents, with the player looking for compensation and Juventus hoping he will just agree to leave.

That would provide them more financial room to manoeuvre as they look to tie down Paulo Dybala and pursue moves for the likes of Fiorentina's Dusan Vlahovic.

Ramsey is back in training after his latest injury and will be available to face the Florentine side on Saturday, but has fallen down the pecking order after the arrival of Manuel Locatelli, having been tried in a deep midfield role by Max Allegri at the start of the season.

Reports in Italy have linked him with a return to the Premier League, with Tuttosport touting Newcastle as a potential destination.

Following the takeover by a Saudi-led group the Magpies have cash to burn, and may be able to secure Ramsey with no transfer fee.
