Aaron Ramsey's move to Juventus has not exactly worked out to the satisfaction of the player or the club. Juventus have also been struck hard in a financial sense by the Covid-19 pandemic and are in desperate need of trimming their wage bill.

Ramsey is one of the highest earners at the club since joining as a free-agent in the summer of 2019. According to Calciomercato, Juventus are planning to revamp their squad in the summer and Ramsey is one of the players they wish to offload.

The Welshman reportedly favours a return to his former club Arsenal and is willing to take a wage cut in order to join them. Ramsey is a revered figure in North London. He has won three FA Cups at Arsenal and has made 364 appearances for the Gunners across all competitions.

Arsenal are also desperate to sign a box-to-box midfielder this summer and this could be a move that works out for all parties involved.

#2 Paul Pogba to Juventus

The summer transfer window is not complete without a Paul Pogba transfer saga. The Manchester United man does not seem too interested in quelling rumours linking him with other clubs and speculation is rife over his future.

Pogba's current contract with Manchester United expires next summer and Juventus have been keeping tabs on him. However, the Red Devils are determined to keep Pogba and have reportedly offered him a hefty pay raise.

Going by the way the Frenchman and his representatives keep undermining the club, it might be in Manchester United's best interest to let the player leave. If they decide to cash in on him, Juventus could find themselves locked in a transfer battle with Real Madrid.

Juventus fans still adore Pogba for his contributions during a highly impressive four-year stint in Turin from 2012-2016.

#1 Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester United

Cristiano Ronaldo gets linked with a return to Manchester United almost every summer. According to Corriere dello Sport, the Red Devils have offered Cristiano Ronaldo a bumper €20-million-per-season contract to return to Old Trafford.

Ronaldo faces an uncertain future at Juventus. The club finished fourth in Serie A and qualified for the Champions League by the skin of their teeth. Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes is set to hold crunch talks with Juventus over the future of his client.

If he does choose to return to Manchester United, he will undoubtedly be given a hero's welcome at Old Trafford. Ronaldo burgeoned into the world beater he is at Manchester United under the tutelage of Sir Alex Ferguson.

He holds a special place in the hearts of Manchester United fans which could also be the reason why he gets linked with a return every summer.
