Aaron Ramsey: Rangers loanee set for next move with 'contract termination' on cards

Aaron Ramsey looks set to become a free agent this summer amid reports that Juventus will terminate his contract following his ill-fated loan spell at Rangers.

The Wales international was heralded as a marquee signing for the Ibrox side in January but injury and fitness issues saw the 31-year-old play a mostly bit-part role.

Ramsey was an unused substitute during the Scottish Cup final victory over Hearts last weekend having been brought off the bench in the final minute of extra-time in the Europa League final three days earlier, only to miss the decisive spot-kick in the penalty shoot-out as Eintracht Frankfurt lifted the trophy.

In total, Ramsey managed just nine starts for Rangers and failed to complete a single 90 minutes, scoring two goals. He also featured just five times for Juventus in the first-half of the campaign, where he is under contract until the summer of 2023.

That will leave Ramsey looking for a new club next season, but a return to Rangers would appear unlikely given his limited impact and sparing use by Giovanni van Bronckhorst when available.

The former Arsenal star posted a farewell message to Rangers fans on Instagram last week.
