Aaron Ramsey confused over contract saga | Credit: Getty |
Aaron Ramsey has stated that he knows not the reason why Arsenal decided to pull out of contract negotiations with him at the time they did.
The Wales international is in the final year of his contract which attempts were made to extend recently but at the moment everything has been placed on hold.
We at first thought that the withdrawal by the Gunners was something of mutual knowledge by both parties but with the bombshell dropped by Ramsey, it is clear that it was a one-sided decision which neither we nor the affected player.
Quizzed on his ongoing contract saga which will see him become a free agent at the end of the season if it remains this way, the 27-year-old informed reporters of how confused he was owing by the fact that the club has kept quiet over his matter when he was already ready to commit his future to Arsenal.
“We all know that the contract was taken away off the table. I’m not sure exactly why because a few weeks before we sort of agreed and I was ready to sign.
“Something happened, I am not sure exactly what, but that contract is no longer there, or nothing’s on the table. So I just have to get my head down, work hard and try and help this team as much as I can now. We’ll see where that takes me.”
Ramsey has still been influential for Arsenal despite uncertainties surrounding his future at the club. He was even made to captain the Arsenal side that beat Sporting Lisbon 1-0 in our last Europa League fixture, a sign that he could still be put into consideration in the near future.
