# Rangers: No option to buy Aaron Ramsey

**Rangers haven’t agreed an option to buy Aaron Ramsey at the end of his loan spell from Juventus, according to [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/3103003/2022/01/31/aaron-ramsey-rangers-biggest-signing-since-gazza/)‘s Jordan Campbell says.**

### The lowdown

The Gers managed to pull off what Sky Sports reporter Keith Downie called an [‘extraordinary signing’](https://twitter.com/SkySports_Keith/status/1488149343647457283) on the final day of the January transfer window, bringing in the Wales midfielder until the end of the season.

He became their [fourth addition](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/rangers-fc/transfers/verein/124/plus/?saison_id=2021&pos=&detailpos=&w_s=w) of the month, joining centre-back James Sands, right winger Amad Diallo and right-back Mateusz Zukowski.

The 31-year-old has 16 months left on his Juventus contract and is presently valued at £4.5m by [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aaron-ramsey/profil/spieler/50057).

### The latest

In the comments of an article Campbell wrote for [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/3103003/2022/01/31/aaron-ramsey-rangers-biggest-signing-since-gazza/) on Rangers’ deadline day swoop for Ramsey, he was asked whether the loan agreement included a potential permanent option.

The journalist succinctly replied: “No option I’m told. Wages would be prohibitive.”

### The verdict

Rangers have managed to agree a wage split with Juventus which, according to Ross Wilson, [preserves their existing structure](https://theathletic.com/3103003/2022/01/31/aaron-ramsey-rangers-biggest-signing-since-gazza/), but it appears that they would be unable to foot the entirety of the Welshman’s salary in the long-term.

That’s no surprise considering that Ramsey is thought to be on [£400,000 per week](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47203118) at Juventus, while the Gers’ top-earner at present is reportedly [£33,000-per-week](https://salarysport.com/football/scottish-premiership/rangers/) Alfredo Morelos.

The signing has had many figures connected to Rangers buzzing with glee, with Ally McCoist telling talkSPORT that he’s [‘really excited’](https://twitter.com/talkSPORT/status/1488264073070448648) and declaring it the club’s [biggest deal for more than 25 years](https://twitter.com/talkSPORT/status/1488399571281752067).

However, it looks as if Ramsey’s stay will be fleeting, unless he agrees to an enormous wage reduction to remain at Ibrox beyond the summer.
