Aaron Ramsey’s Mexican Exit: Dog Loss & Contract Termination
In a turn of events that underscores the human side of professional sports, former Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey has parted ways with Mexican club Pumas. The decision, as reported by Annahar, comes after a series of unfortunate events that have deeply impacted the Welsh star.
A Difficult Chapter in Mexico
Ramsey’s time in Mexico, which began at the start of the year, was cut short due to a combination of factors. While he managed to participate in only six matches, the 34-year-old found himself unable to adapt to the Mexican football environment. This was further complicated by difficult family circumstances and a recurring muscle injury. The circumstances culminated in Ramsey and Pumas agreeing to a mutual contract termination.
The Loss of a Companion and Its Impact
One of the most poignant aspects of Ramsey’s departure is the loss of his dog, Hallo. The disappearance of the dog became a significant media story in Mexico. Ramsey offered a $25,000 reward for Hallo’s safe return. However, the search proved unsuccessful, leading to a state of depression for the player, according to local reports. The club gave Ramsey special leave to search for his dog and overcome the crisis. His extended absence from training ultimately led to the termination of his contract.
Looking Ahead
As Ramsey contemplates his next move, he is taking time to reassess his future. The midfielder, who rose to prominence at Arsenal before playing for Juventus and Nice, is considering his options. The Winter transfer window of 2026 might be the timeframe for his next decision. Ramsey, a key midfielder of his generation, notably led Wales to the semi-finals of Euro 2016.
