In demand: Barcelona are keen on Ramsey, say reports

Barcelona are keen on Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey, according to reports.
The Catalan giants are currently under a transfer embargo, meaning they are unable to sign any players in 2015. But that has not stopped them being linked with a number of players in recent months.
Gunners star Ramsey is the latest name in the mix, with The Sun claiming that Barça would be willing to stump up £50million to secure his signature.
There will be room in the Blaugrana squad for a central midfielder next season, withXavi having confirmed on Thursday that he will be on the move this summer after a trophy-laden spell at the Camp Nou.

Ivan Rakitic has been a success since arriving from Sevilla, but Luis Enrique is reportedly keen on adding the attacking ability of Ramsey to his squad.
Barcelona have scouted Ramsey ten times so far this season and hope that they can find a way around the ban – possibly by calling for a pardon in the wake of similar accusations leveled at other Spanish sides.
The 24-year-old, however, has four years left on his deal at the Emirates and is unlikely to be considered up for sale by Arsene Wenger.
