Spanish giants interested in £50million move
Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey has shrugged off talks linking him with a £50million move to Spanish giants FC Barcelona.
Reports emerged last week that the La Liga champions were plotting a mega-money move for the Welshman, as they identified him as a long-term Xavi replacement.
Xavi Replacement
The Barca legend is on his way to Qatar over the Summer, and despite the club being under a transfer embargo, they are already searching for potential replacements.
The Catalan giants won’t be able to sign anyone this Summer, but are still putting together a target list for potential signings and Ramsey is one of the main options.
However, the midfielder has recently spoken out about the reported transfer news, and he has confirmed that it’s just paper talk and that he is only focused on Arsenal.
Ramsey Dismisses Talks
“That’s just something that’s been written in the papers,” he said.
“I’m focused on Arsenal and on winning the FA Cup.
“That sort of news doesn’t affect me or enter my mind.
“I’m focusing on the FA Cup, that’s what appeals to me at this time.”
According to reports, Barca have scouted Ramsey 10-times this season, but it seems like they will have to look elsewhere with the Welshman fully focused on Arsenal.
