Former Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey is set for a surprising move to Mexican side Pumas UNAM, according to reports.
The PA news agency (via BBC) report that former Arsenal player Aaron Ramsey has agreed a deal to sign for Mexican side Club Universidad Nacional, also known as Pumas UNAM.
Ramsey is reportedly set to become the first high-profile British player to play in the Mexican league.
The 34-year-old had been linked with the permanent manager job at Cardiff City, having acted as their interim manager at the end of the 2024/25 campaign whilst injured. But he wants to continue his playing career, targeting an appearance at the World Cup next summer.
Fabrizio Romano confirms that Ramsey will sign as a new Pumas UNAM player in the coming days, adding that the Welsh international is ready for a new chapter in Mexico.
Ramsey only made 10 senior appearances for Cardiff this season, amid a couple of hamstring setbacks that ultimately ended in surgery.
The hope will be that he can recover from his time out to play a consistent role with Pumas UNAM next season, followed up with an appearance at the World Cup.
It’s been six years now since Ramsey made his final appearance for Arsenal, all the way back in 2019. The former Gunner played 369 times for the club, scoring 64 goals including two in FA Cup finals – winning the competition three times.
