According to thesun Real Madrid are prepared to pay Arsenal 25 million pounds to try to lure the midfielder to the Spanish capital and reunite with his country man Gareth Bale.
The versatile midfielder is top on Real Madrid’s lift of potential transfer targets because of his ability to play in various positions across midfield.
Madrid is confident of getting their target to leave the gunners to join them because Zinedine Zidane is prepared to offer the Welsh international regular playing time. Ramsey’s season has been hampered by a hamstring injury and the 25-year-old has just been able to start once in the premier league.
