Aaron Ramsdale is expected to depart Arsenal at the end of this season after losing his first-team place at the Emirates.
The goalkeeper has witnessed David Raya prove himself on numerous occasions, and he understands that it will be challenging for him to reclaim his place in the Arsenal goal.
While Arsenal was not prepared to part ways with him in January, they are now open to his departure from the Emirates.
Once the season concludes, they will entertain offers from any club that meets their asking price, with two teams already expressing interest.
According to a report in The Sun, Ramsdale is being pursued by Chelsea and Newcastle United despite his current lack of action.
Both clubs are set to seek new goalkeepers in the summer, and they have seen enough from Ramsdale to believe that he could be a valuable addition to their squads.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Ramsdale remains a solid goalkeeper and proved this in the game against Brentford, despite his mistake.
He will be a starter in another European campaigning side in the Premier League, and we believe either of these clubs will enjoy having him in their squad.
But we may have to be open to a solution like an initial loan deal to offload him.

Mistake aside the Brentford game would have reminded prospective summer goal keeper shoppers, Arsenal has a very goalie idling.
In my opinion the gaffer resolve will be easily tested with anything over £50 mil, for the young Englishman.
If Arsenal want a significant fee for Ramsdale, then it’s going to be another PL club. There are only a few willing to spend 40 million or more for a GK.
Ultimately, meaning before next season BEGINS, we WILL accept any offer that is even halfway close to what we are asking for Ramsdale.
As he is now definitely, and agreed by all on JA, now MA’s second choice behind RAYA, whether rightly or wrongly, he WILL be leaving us this summer.
The ONLY matter still in question is the EXACT size of his fee.
£50 million plus, then we are talking.
And if no other club offers even near £50 mill, which they won’t, what would YOU do?
Would you keep an unhappy player against his will and see his value as second choice keeper reduce still further?
Seems to me you have put not ACTUAL THOUGHT into your post at all!
We urgently need sales of players who do not much play, so that we can improve our team further.
RAMSDALE will definitely leave this summer, no matter what you “think”!!
I looked on transfermarkt and Ramsdale’s worth according to them is nowhere close to £40/50m.
Neither am I surprised. He has lost his place to Raya who I believe will cost us under £30m so why would AR be worth more?
SueP
He is younger, think he will carry a higher ceiling plus he’s British.
I hadn’t factored that in Gunsmoke and reading what Ken has to say about selling on fees etc then it would have to be a very big offer.
After watching Ramsdale’s reaction with Raya after the Porto game, I wouldn’t have said he was unhappy at all.
He has kept his place in the England set up and if The Arsenal do let him go I’m certain that MA will not let him go to another premiership club unless a VERY big offer comes in, especially if it’s chelsea or newcastle, who will be making an effort to sign Ramsdale – both clubs with plenty of money.
I would also expect clauses that would give us first choice to resign him and/or a percentage of any further transfer fee.
Ken Though like Ramsdale a great deal, in common with very many Gooners, both as a keeper ans for his chartcter and personality, I hold no doubt whatsoever that he WILL leave us this summer. If, which I definitely do NOT believe, we wer eto keep him here we wwould have an unhappy keeper ands one whose transafe value would recuse aas his contract runs down andhim noty playing muich at all It would be astupis thing to do and we wil NOT do it. The only remaining qurestion to WE REALISTS,. is how much he fee will be Personally I DOUBT IT WILL be much above £30 mil amd possibly less,. But I am certain we will accept the best offer from which ever club buys him, quite likely Chelsea or Newcastle, and he will be ELSEWHERE next season.
And before you ask me , foolishly HOW I know that for a fact, obvously I do NOT know it for a fact!.
But I DO know our club is not able to keep valuable but unchosen players around and we need funds IN (or simultaneously to) before spending OUT.
I do not call myself a realist for no reason KEN!
“whose transfer value would decrease( not recuse).”
As you say, Jon, it’s your opinion.
As I say, I don’t see any reason why the club will not insist on a big fee, along with favourable clauses, IF they decide to let Aaron leave.
We should also remember that next season, we will be back competing in four competitions (PL, CL, FA and Carabo Cup) so there will be plenty of opportunities for Ramsdale to feature and play in.
It looks as if his England place is secure, even though he’s not first team choice at present.
As a realist myself, I cannot see my club letting a international keeper going for a mere £30 plus million and THEN scouring the market for another one who will cost around the same kind of money, UNLESS the player himself asks for a transfer…. then the club will play hardball.
As I observed after the Porto game, Aaron doesn’t look to be that way inclined at the moment, so, unlike yourself, I won’t make any prediction and hope that he stays.
