Ramsey’s links to Bayern Munich played down

German news outlet Bild report that Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich can’t be confident of landing a deal for Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey.

Recent reports have suggested that the German club are in pole position to land the Welshman, whose contract with the Gunners expires at the end of the season.

Arsenal have made it clear to Ramsey that they do not intend on offering him a new deal, which has alerted several clubs across Europe.

Fellow Premier League clubs Liverpool and Manchester United are understood to be interested in securing Ramsey’s signature, but European giants Juventus and Bayern are also keeping a close eye on his situation.

The German report claims that there can’t be any talk of an agreement between Bayern and Ramsey for some time because he will be free to talk to multiple clubs in January.

Ramsey has been one of Arsenal’s best players in recent years but new manager Unai Emery is not eager to keep him at the club.

The battle for his signature is expected to intensify when he is free to negotiate with foreign clubs in the new year.
