Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey is an unlikely transfer target for Real Madrid, where he could link up with Wales international teammate Gareth Bale.
The Sun reckons Blancos coach Zinedine Zidane will launch a £25 million move for Ramsey, whose current deal with Arsenal runs until 2018. In addition, the Gunners are said to still owe Madrid £11m for the transfer of Mesut Ozil, a figure that could be taken from Ramsey’s transfer fee.
The 25-year-old would face tough competition for a starting place in Zidane’s XI, with Luka Modric and Toni Kroos both recently committing their long-term future to the club by signing new contracts, but it is reported there is a pay raise and the promise of regular football on offer at the Bernabeu.
Real currently have a FIFA transfer ban until 2018 but they are confident of winning an appeal.
