Bengaluru, Feb 17: Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey just this week confirmed his move to Juventus in the Summer as a free agent and the move will reportedly earn him a staggering £400,000 a week wage, highest among any Britishers playing outside England.
Ramsey's contract stand-off with Arsenal had been the talk of the town for many days. Gunners boss Unai Emery was believed to be behind Arsenal’s decision to revoke their contract offer to Ramsey.
The London based side were said to be have offered a deal of £200,000 a week to the player – making him their second top earner behind Mesut Ozil but reportedly Emery later withdrew it to better use the money at the club.
However, now following the recent announcement of him signing a four year deal with the Turin based side for double the amount offered by Arsenal, many fans instead have started pointing finger at the Wales international.
However, denying such allegations former Liverpool and Wales legend Ian Rush now has suggested that the 28-year-old's decision was not at all based on the money.
The Kop legend, who also made a move to Turin when he left Liverpool in 1986, before returning to Anfield after two seasons has revealed that he personally talked with Ramsey and reckons the midfielder chose to move to Italy because of Juventus's prestigious track record of winning trophies which he lacked at Arsenal.
