Ramsey's existing deal expires on 30 June 2019 and the Gunners had been hopeful of tying up fresh terms.

But negotiations have stopped and, barring an unlikely resumption, the 27-year-old will be sold in January or become a free agent next summer.

As things stand, the Welshman will be able to sign a pre-contract agreement with a foreign club from 1 January.

Ramsey joined the Gunners in 2008 in a £4.8m move from hometown club Cardiff City.

He is Arsenal's longest-serving player and scored the winning goals in the 2014 and 2017 FA Cup finals.

Ramsey was an 84th-minute substitute in the Gunners' 3-1 defeat of Brentford in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
