Aaron Ramsey wanted to remain at Arsenal before the club decided to withdraw their offer of a new contract, according to his agent.
Per the Evening Standard's James Benge, the Welshman's representatives, Avid Sports and Entertainment Group, replied to an Arsenal supporter on Twitter in since-deleted tweets thought to be sent by his agent David Baldwin.
The tweets said "there is nothing we can do, the club made a decision. Life goes on" and "[The grass] isn't always greener, and he didn't want to leave, but now there is no other option."
