Despite having their first loan offer for the goalkeeper turned down, Ajax are reportedly "optimistic" about buying Ramsdale this summer.
According to the Athletic, as the transfer window winds down, Arsenal may accept a new loan bid from Ajax, even if they would instead trade Ramsdale permanently.
Ramsdale is considering a move to Ajax, therefore the club is likely to make a fresh offer soon.
Ramsdale, eager to get regular football again, has several suitors, including Southampton and Nottingham Forest.
After losing his starting spot at Arsenal, Ramsdale is now up for grabs.
After moving from Sheffield United to Arsenal in 2021, Ramsdale enjoyed a stellar debut season and second.
The 26-year-old did an outstanding job as Arsenal's starting goalkeeper in the 2022–23 season when the club came close to winning the Premier League.
But manager Mikel Arteta decided to recruit Brentford's David Raya on loan with a buyout clause last summer, and he lost his starting spot in the first squad.
When compared to Ramsdale, Arteta thought Raya would be a better distributor and builder from the back.
Raya had a disappointing first half due to a series of mistakes and an overall nervous appearance. Still, he showed improvement in the second half, leading to Arsenal's second consecutive Premier League finish.
Ramsdale has openly expressed his desire to join a new club and play a more regular role in their lineup. Chelsea is among several other clubs that have been linked to him.
With Raya's loan move from Brentford now being made permanent for roughly €31 million, Arsenal will approve the sale of Ramsdale.
