It was not a financial problem : Wenger on Ramsey
Arsene Wenger said :
In the case of Ramsey, it’s not a question at all of [running down his] contract, not at all,” he said.
I think it was not a financial situation and not a desire of the player to leave. But, as long as I was there, I was convinced that the player would stay.
What happened after, I don’t know. It was not a financial problem, not a desire to leave problem.
Juventus got Ramsey on a free transfer. He will be well paid in wages for his services.
According to Wenger, high transfer prices for Elite players is increasing and incentives should be given to players for Contract extension before time.
Wenger said :
It’s very simple: the transfer market is so big now that they think ‘if I run out my contract, I will not get the whole [outlay of the] transfer [but] I get the big part of it’,” he explained, having seen star names Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil enter the closing stages of their Arsenal deals on his watch.
Adding that to inflation means that the financial incentive for a player is to run out his contract. You’ll see that more and more, because a good player today [costs] between 50 and 100 million.
So, the player will not be bought for that price. His interest is to run the contract down and say to the club who wants to buy him ‘okay, I don’t want 50 [million], but I want a part of it’.
