Crystal Palace make Aaron Ramsey transfer decision

Crystal Palace have decided against a move for former Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey, Daily Mail reports.

The Welshman is currently with Juventus, but is widely expected to leave the club before the transfer window closes.

A return to the Premier League remains his preference, but he is looking for a club lying in the top half of the table.

Having snubbed offers from Burnley and Newcastle United, it was always likely that he would reject the Eagles.

Hence, the south London outfit have withdrawn their interest in advance instead of being snubbed by the 31-year-old.

Ramsey is currently earning around £175,000-a-week, and he may need to accept a significant pay-cut at his next club.

The Bianconeri are willing to offload him for good if they receive an offer of around £12m before the January 31 deadline.

They are also open to loan offers for the versatile midfielder, but may want any interested club to cover most of his wages.
