Aaron Ramsey has said that he has left Cardiff City with “a lot of different emotions” ahead of a widely reported move to Mexico.

The Wales captain has agreed a deal to sign for Club Universidad Nacional – known as Pumas UNAM, whose manager Efrain Juarez shares the same agent as Ramsey.

If the move is finalised, Ramsey will become the first high-profile British player to play in the Mexican league.

Ramsey posted: “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.”

Ramsey, who made 23 appearances and scored three goals upon his return to Cardiff, was also appointed interim player-manager for the side’s final three games of last season’s Championship.

The 34-year-old was unable to prevent his hometown club from relegation, and with his desire to continue playing made clear, his move away from the League One-bound Cardiff was on the cards.

While his Cardiff departure was confirmed, the club appointed Brian Barry-Murphy as boss and Ramsey’s former Wales teammate Gareth Bale has been linked with a consortium hoping to take over as new owners.
