MEXICO CITY, Dec 15 (Reuters) - Wales midfielder Aaron Ramsey said he was surprised by the termination of his contract at Mexico's Pumas UNAM, saying he wanted to stay and felt ready to return after an injury and personal matters kept him sidelined.

Ramsey, 34, who joined Pumas in July from Cardiff City after spells with clubs including Arsenal, Juventus and Rangers, said he was "ready and match fit" to play in remaining fixtures of the Clausura tournament but was informed that his contract had been rescinded, forcing him to return home.
