In recent days, there have been many rumors about Newcastle United wanting to recruit Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale in the 2024 summer transfer window.
Currently, Ramsdale’s future at Emirates Stadium is uncertain as the player has to sit on the bench under the management of Mikel Arteta and according to sources from Give Me Sport, the 25-year-old English goalkeeper is quite “open”. about the prospect of joining the home team at St James’ Park .
After nearly 3 years with Arsenal, Ramsdale may have to leave Emirates Stadium at the end of the 2023/24 season, after joining from Sheffield United with a contract worth 30 million pounds in the 2021 summer transfer window.
Initially, Ramsdale acted as Arteta’s No. 1 goalkeeper with a contract extension until 2026, with an option for an additional year. However, after Arsenal recruited Brentford goalkeeper David Raya on a season-long loan with the option to buy permanently, Ramsdale was demoted to second place and could only participate in cup matches and other tournaments. Champions League group stage match.
Meanwhile, Eddie Howe’s current first choice Nick Pope has been sidelined for much of the season with a shoulder injury which has forced him to use 35-year-old goalkeeper Martin Dubravka. Therefore, the need to add a quality personnel in the same position is Newcastle’s top priority next summer.
In addition, The Magpies’ head coach once worked with Ramsdale during his time in charge at AFC Bournemouth, before the duo left Vitality Stadium following relegation from the Premier League in 2020.
It is unclear how Ramsdale will handle the transfer in the summer as he is expected to attend EURO 2024 with England when the domestic season ends. However, it is clear that this goalkeeper wants to stay in the Premier League and a decision may be made after the tournament ends.
Sky Sports expert Dharmesh Sheth expressed his opinion on the future situation of the Gunners star. He shared: “Ramsdale is a Three Lions player. If he wants to continue playing for England, leaving in the summer will have to be a career-defining situation for him, he will need to play regularly.” .”
In fact, Nick Pope’s role at Newcastle is not as safe as most people imagine, even when he is at his best, so Ramsdale can completely become the number one goalkeeper at St James’ Park.
The only thing that makes it difficult for Newcastle in this deal is that Ramsdale’s current valuation is quite high when Football Transfers reported late last year that Arsenal wanted to receive 50 million pounds to agree to their backup goalkeeper. leave.
Although the Magpies must comply with the Premier League’s profit and sustainability regulations, it seems that both Arsenal and Ramsdale are ready for transfer negotiations this summer.
