Aaron Ramsey Set to Return to Nice for Pre-Season Training as Future Remains Uncertain
Aaron Ramsey’s future remains uncertain as Nice expect the Wales captain to return to the club for pre-season training. The 32-year-old’s contract with Nice expired last month, but there is a suggestion that his 34 appearances for them last season were enough to trigger an extension clause. With no confirmation either way, Ramsey has held talks with Cardiff City about a potential return and there are other clubs interested in signing him.
A statement on Nice’s club website reads: “The rest of the players who were involved in international matches over the summer: Kasper Schmeichel (Denmark), Aaron Ramsey (Wales), Khephren Thuram (France U21s) and Ayoub Amraoui (Morocco U21s) will join up with the squad next week.” Nice have been asked to clarify whether or not they still regard Ramsey as their player, and if this statement was simply a matter of protocol or a sign that he is a part of their plans for the coming season. Ramsey’s representatives have also been contacted for a response as the midfielder – who has been preparing for the new season at Wales’ training base on the outskirts of Cardiff – ponders his next move.
Ramsey began his career at Cardiff, making his debut aged 16 in 2007 before joining Arsenal in 2008. He briefly returned to the Welsh capital for a loan spell in 2011 to aid his recovery from a broken leg. Ramsey made more than 250 appearances for Arsenal, winning the FA Cup three times, before eventually leaving for Juventus on a free transfer in 2019. The playmaker, born and raised in south Wales, has said he would be keen for his next move to be closer to home after his disappointing time in Italy was followed by a single season with Nice.

Cardiff City are one of the clubs interested in signing Aaron Ramsey as the Wales captain ponders his next move. Ramsey has held talks with the Championship side about a potential return, but there are other clubs interested in signing him. Cardiff City manager Mick McCarthy said: “We’ve spoken to Aaron and his representatives and we’re hopeful that he’ll be joining us for pre-season training.”
