Aaron Ramsdale to leave Arsenal?! Bayern Munich and Chelsea monitor Gunners goalkeeper after he was benched against Everton
Bayern Munich and Chelsea are closely monitoring Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale due to the uncertainty surrounding his role as Arsenal’s top choice in the position.
David Raya, a summer acquisition, marked his debut for Arsenal, stepping in for Ramsdale during the Gunners’ 1-0 victory against Everton on Sunday. Mikel Arteta’s decision to start Raya at Goodison Park has raised questions about Ramsdale’s future with the club, both in the short and long term.
Arteta has suggested that he intends to alternate between Raya and Ramsdale this season and has even hinted at the possibility of making in-game goalkeeper changes.
As a result, Chelsea and Bayern Munich have been linked with the English goalkeeper.
Bayern Munich has been actively seeking a long-term replacement for Manuel Neuer, as Sven Ulreich has not emerged as a standout choice for the position.
Meanwhile, Chelsea recently acquired Robert Sanchez from Brighton and also signed Djordje Petrovic from the New England Revolution. Despite these acquisitions, Chelsea remains open to bolstering their goalkeeping department.
Since his transfer from Sheffield United in 2021, Ramsdale has earned recognition as one of the premier young goalkeepers in Europe. He has solidified his position in Gareth Southgate’s squad and has participated in four senior international matches.
There is a growing sentiment among many that he should be the preferred choice over the current No. 1, Jordan Pickford, for the England national team.
Arteta’s recent statements about his views on the goalkeeper position indicate that any potential interest in Ramsdale during the January transfer window might not be met with great enthusiasm from Arsenal.
However, it will be intriguing to see how Arsenal responds if they receive offers for Ramsdale exceeding £60 million next summer. Such a significant bid could pose a challenging decision for the club and may ultimately determine Ramsdale’s future at Arsenal.
