Nottingham Forest are now considered the favourites to sign Wales international Aaron Ramsey after the midfielder's Juventus contract was 'mutually terminated'.
The 31-year-old was finally confirmed to be a free agent this summer by the Italian giants via social media Wednesday evening, but there remains no mention on their official website. An exit had been inevitable in recent weeks, though, after being left out of the squad that toured the United States during pre-season and not even being given a squad number ahead of the Serie A season.
Forest are a club being suggested as an option for Ramsey to return to England. That would, of course, also be a return to the City Ground after spending just over a month there on loan while still an Arsenal player.
