Ramsey is only one game short of his 50th outing in Serie A, but there are serious doubts over whether he'll get the opportunity to reach that milestone.

The Caerphilly-born middle man, who spent time on loan at Nottingham Forest and Cardiff City, has made just one league start this term.

Sky Sport Italia transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, speaking to the Transfer Show, said: "I can confirm that one Juventus player, [Aaron] Ramsay, can probably come back to the Premier League.

"He had an official proposal from Burnley, but he said 'no', he doesn't want to play for Burnley.

"He wants to play for a more challenging team, an ambitious team in the Premier League.

"Newcastle asked for him before Christmas so we'll see in January if some Premier League teams want Ramsay.

"He would like to come back because now, at Juventus, he's in a difficult situation."
