Arsenal Director of Football Explains Why Aaron Ramsey Has Been Allowed to Leave on Free Transfer

Arsenal director of football Raul Sanllehi has suggested that Aaron Ramsey's impending departure is for the best of the club.

Ramsey looked set to sign a new contract at the Emirates, before a potential deal was taken off the table by the club. The Welshman has subsequently confirmed that he will leave the club in the summer when his contract expires, but not before.

Liverpool and Manchester United have been linked with moves for Ramsey, while the midfielder is free to talk to foreign clubs in January and arrange a pre-contract agreement.

In addition to Premier League interest, the likes of Juventus and AC Milan have been mentioned as potential suitors for Ramsey.
