Aaron Ramsey is disliked and undesired at Juventus, and both the player and the club are looking for a way out.
After helping Wales qualify for their first World Cup in 64 years earlier this month, the midfielder is expected to be in high demand this summer.
We take a look at what the future holds for the 31-year-old Dragons star as they prepare to face the Netherlands tonight.
Ramsey joined Juventus on a free transfer from Arsenal in 2019, but he has been troubled by injuries during his time in Turin.
In the first half of last season, the Caerphilly native made just three Serie A appearances before being loaned out to Rangers for the second half of the season.
Juventus is also said to have begun talks with Ramsey's representation to cancel his contract a year early.
The Bianconeri are eager to offload the 74-cap international's exorbitant salaries this summer, having handing him a reputed £400,000-a-week contract three years ago.
If the two parties can reach an agreement, Ramsey will become a much more appealing prospect for free transfer suitors.

Rangers are back in action.
Rangers could look towards making Ramsey's loan a permanent deal, with the Glasgow giants' midfield options being particularly limited.
Although the Welshman only had five appearances in the Scottish Premiership, he did manage to score two goals during that time.
However, the midfield maestro's time in Glasgow came to an end after he missed a penalty in the Europa League final shootout - a fact that is unlikely to influence manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst's choice.
"Of course, Aaron was disappointed," he stated after the final. However, he accepted responsibility for the penalty.
"You have a chance to make it or you have a chance to miss it." Unfortunately for us, he did not make it, but you want guys who are comfortable taking penalties."

Getting away from Goodison
Everton's transfer window this summer will be crucial following their disastrous 2021-22 season.
By a hair's breadth, the Toffees avoided relegation, and manager Frank Lampard has been forthright about his present squad's limitations in terms of his preferred style of play.
Everton has been linked with a bid for Ramsey in recent transfer seasons and may aim to reignite their interest in order to improve the quality of their midfield.
Lampard prefers his team to advance the ball between the lines at breakneck speed, which the former Cardiff midfielder is more than capable of.
During last season's Europa League campaign, he attempted an average of 24.07 passes into the final third per 90 minutes, placing him among the top 15 players in the competition.
With Everton's financial woes well publicized, a deal for Ramsey may be excellent value for money.

Ramsey's return to the City Ground with freshly promoted Nottingham Forest is another possibility.
During the 2010-11 season, the 5ft 10in striker was on loan at Nottingham Forest, where he was part of the team that famously hammered Derby 5-2.
Switching to Steve Cooper's team would be an excellent way for him to improve match fitness ahead of the World Cup.
Following the expiration of James Garner's loan from Manchester United, Forest are expected to be in the market for a midfielder this window, leaving them short in the middle of the park.
Ramsey's previous stint with the club was cut short due to injury, so he may feel he has unfinished business at the City Ground.
A return to Cardiff would be the most romantic option for Ramsey.
The Championship club is thought to have put their hat in the ring for the former Bluebird's re-signing.
Ramsey joined Cardiff when he was eight years old and rose through the ranks to become the club's youngest ever player at the age of sixteen.
He won a £5 million move to Arsenal after a standout season, and a return might be on the cards 14 years later.
Ramsey becoming a free agent and taking a major pay cut would be required for a move, but it could be the ideal venue for him to make an impact before traveling to Qatar.
