As per Welsh news outlet Wales Online, the 34-year-old is set to sign a one-year deal with Mexican club Pumas Unam following his release from Cardiff.

“I leave Cardiff city with a lot of different emotions. Although it has been personally challenging at times I made sure to give my all on and off the pitch for this wonderful club that is so close to my heart.

"For now I am on a new adventure, but I will be keeping a close eye on the club as always and it will forever have my support. Good luck to the staff and all the players for the upcoming season and a big thank you to the amazing fans! Until next time, Aaron," posted Ramsey on X.
