Arsenal’s high asking price for Aaron Ramsdale might deter potential suitors, as reports reveal they have set a hefty price tag for his signature.
Ramsdale lost his place as the club’s number one at the start of last season, with David Raya proving to be an upgrade. Despite missing up to five games, the Spaniard still won the Premier League’s Golden Glove.
Arsenal is confident in Raya’s abilities and sees him as their first-choice goalkeeper for the foreseeable future. Consequently, Ramsdale may need to seek regular first-team football elsewhere.
Several clubs are interested in signing Ramsdale, but Arsenal is adamant about receiving a significant fee for his departure.
According to The Sun, Arsenal is asking for around £50 million, a steep price for a backup goalkeeper. This suggests that the Gunners are not eager to part ways with Ramsdale, despite his desire for more playing time.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Ramsdale has to leave if he wants game time, and we must be reasonable with our demands because Raya will not command the valuation we have placed on Ramsdale.

Arteta does not want to sell Ramsdale as he believes his long term future, being a young goalkeeper is with Arsenal. He has the years on Raya to out last him and will be given more game time next season. £50 million for an England international is a cheap price.
Arteta is not handling this matter very well,there was no need bringing Rays here,what affected Ramdale was our porous defence that open up Ramdale,He’s a good goalkeeper, He will have as well win the golden glove last season.
If he want to sell him,£60m should be table for his signature.
In fact,all those players put out for sell,Arsenal should collect good money.
i am sure if £30m or more is offered Arsenal will take it
Not in a million years.
If Ramsdale would seriously get game time, I’d be happy to see him stay with us. Otherwise for his international career, this is the wrong stage of his career to be for him to be on the bench when he’s so very good. Rather he moves on.
The mind boggles
When you have a club like Newcastle refusing to pay more than 15 million and some
Of our fans expect 40-50 million for him where does the blame lie?
Let me guess (EdU )
Even had idiotic (Arteta )fans blaming edu for signing Mari and Cedric😂(new low )
Arteta as full control of the club now and his sales over the last 5years have been a new record for the club
It’s better if he stays for another 2 season.
The problem with Ramsdale really is: which top club in the EPL is in dire need of a first-choice goalkeeper? I can’t see any. And rather than him going to play second fiddle elsewhere, or settle for a south-table team which may be struggling against relegation by May, why not stay at Arsenal and fight for his place.
Or does he go abroad? Overseas clubs don’t pay the kind of money Arsenal would want for him
It is this potential scenario that convinces me that Ramsdale will still be an Arsenal player in the new season. And that won’t be the worst thing to happen at Arsenal.
I think these are good points. It is likely that Arteta would like to keep him. However, his playing time may be limited unless we go far in cup competitions.
It is a tricky situation in many ways as if we sell him we will need to bring in a good back up which may also be costly.
Unfortunately the way he was dropped have destroyed Ramsdale confidence and value and hence we won’t be getting anywhere near £50 million. I liked his performances last season and he would have gone on to get better. However his head isn’t right now judging on his brief performance for Arsenal and England and therefore it is better that he goes. It reminds me of Joe Hart. It took him years to get back to form
Thierney, Ramsdale, Smith Rowe, Nketia, Nelson, Notice the disturbing trend? All Brits and hardly given a chance after injury. Its Artetas way of culling out great potential. Every one of them ended up getting 15 mins as sub once in five games.How can they prove anything like that? They have a bad record of allowing other clubs to poach our stars too. Just look at Omari Hutchinson…how did that happen? Probably illegally poached but no one seems to car nowdays. Think again Mickel.
Will never get 50 million, or even close.
1. Clubs that can afford it don’t need a starting GK
2. Clubs that need a keeper won’t pay 50 million.
How many Clubs in Europe can afford to spend 50 million on a GK?
He is not first choice, and in fact hardly ever features for Arsenal at all.
Silly season when asking for more than what you paid, after replacing him and rarely selecting him in games this year.
20-30 million more realistic and likely.
