Arsenal has seen several high-profile departures in recent years as players clashed with the club hierarchy.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Mesut Ozil left under similar circumstances. Even Robin Van Persie experienced a comparable fallout in the past.
Midfielder Aaron Ramsey also departed after Arsenal did not offer him a new contract. He then moved to Juventus, where he struggled to find his best form. His performance dropped noticeably after leaving Arsenal.
Ramsey broke his silence on Premier League Stories. He admitted he never wanted to leave the Gunners. “I wanted to commit to Arsenal, but then for whatever reason, what happened I don’t know, the new manager came in and then the contract wasn’t there anymore,” he said, as reported by TBR Football.

A change in management sealed Ramsey’s fate. Arsene Wenger left Arsenal, and Unai Emery took charge. The club no longer offered Ramsey the new deal he was ready to sign.
Under Wenger, Ramsey played a crucial role in Arsenal’s midfield. He showcased his talent and determination on the pitch. His exit hurt both him and the club, and his form never fully recovered.
After Ramsey’s departure, Arsenal signed other midfielders to fill the void. The Gunners moved forward without him, but Ramsey’s career stalled at Juventus. His struggle to regain his best form became evident after leaving Emirates Stadium.
When Juventus called in January, Ramsey explained that he had to secure his future beyond Arsenal. He knew he needed to build a new chapter for himself. The opportunity excited him, even if the move did not work out as hoped.
Many believe Aaron Ramsey deserves better treatment from Arsenal. His contributions under Wenger proved invaluable to the club’s midfield. New updates suggest a change in Arsenal’s transfer target situation, with a €40m tag deemed “fair” by the club.
