Cardiff confirm departure of Mexico-bound Ramsey

Cardiff City have confirmed the departure of Aaron Ramsey, with the midfielder set to move to Mexico.

Ramsey has agreed a deal to sign for Mexican side Club Universidad Nacional - known as Pumas UNAM.

Wales captain Ramsey, 34, was appointed Cardiff interim manager for the final three games of the 2024-25 Championship season after the club sacked Omer Riza, but was unable to prevent the club's relegation to League One.

The Bluebirds have also confirmed the exits of Jamilu Collins, Raheem Conte, Anwar El Ghazi, Kieron Evans, Dimitrios Goutas and Yakou Meite.

The seven players will leave the Welsh club at the end of their contracts on 30 June.

Club captain Joe Ralls and fellow midfielder Andy Rinomhota are in talks about extending their current deals.

Cardiff have held advanced talks with former Manchester City academy coach Brian Barry-Murphy as they close in on naming a new manager.

But they have issued a retained list of players before the start of their League One campaign in August:

Jak Alnwick, Luke Armstrong, Cian Ashford, Joel Bagan, Josh Beecher, Calum Chambers, Rubin Colwill, Joel Colwill, Jesper Daland, Isaak Davies, Jake Dennis, Kion Etete, Will Fish, Trey George, Luey Giles, Ewan Griffiths, Ethan Horvath, Sekou Kaba, Eli King, Ronan Kpakio, Dylan Lawlor, Dakarai Mafico, Perry Ng, Tanatswa Nyakuhwa, Callum O'Dowda, Luke Pearce, Troy Perrett, Michael Reindorf, Alex Robertson, Callum Robinson, Yousef Salech, Roko Šimić, Will Spiers, Ollie Tanner, Ryotaro Tsunoda, David Turnbull, Matthew Turner, Cody Twose, Morgan Wigley, Chris Willock, Ryan Wintle.
