Ramsey is understood to have held discussions with Cardiff City over a possible return, having seen out his current deal with the Ligue 1 outfit.
There has so far been no sign of a fresh offer from Nice, and new boss Farioli has admitted there will likely be movement on the transfer front in the coming days.
"We've been working around the clock with the board since I arrived to consider the possibilities," he said. "The priority is to maximise the potential already in the squad. There will of course be arrivals and departures. The next ten days will be crucial.
"We'll be getting the players back and be able to better assess the situation. I've already seen some of them play in matches and I'm very happy to be able to work with them."
Nkounkou treated 'unfairly' claims ex-team mate
Cedric Kipre says former Cardiff City team mate Niels Nkounkou was treated unfairly by the club.
Nkounkou was sent out on loan to the Bluebirds by Everton last summer, before an agreement was reached in January that allowed him to sign for French side Saint-Etienne.
Kipre believes Nkounkou was right to leave the capital, adding the full-back had been one of the best players in training.
“At Cardiff, the treatment he received was quite unfair”, Kipre was quoted as saying by So Foot.
“When we changed coaches, he no longer played that much despite his good performances and he was one of the best in training.
“Leaving Cardiff was the best thing he could have done last season. But I’m not surprised by his comeback at Saint-Etienne, even if I was shocked that he was part of the team of the year.
“It’s still impressive, I’m proud of him!”
Hudson lands Premier League job
Former Cardiff City boss Mark Hudson has landed a job with Premier League new boys Sheffield United.
The former Bluebirds captain has joined Paul Heckingbottom's coaching staff as the club's new defensive coach, having left his post as City boss towards the end of last season.
Commenting on the move, Heckingbottom said: "Mark boasts a wealth of experience of the position and will therefore be adding a lot of detail and support to the defenders. He has also managed too, as have Macca and Jack, which, from my own point of view, is invaluable.
"He has experienced that position right the way through to the top level, he's coached teams, knows the importance of the defensive unit and also knows how to get a performance out of the group, which helps me, makes my job easier and makes sure fine details aren't missed."
Hudson himself added: "I'm delighted to be here and join as we move into the Premier League.
"I got a phone call a couple of weeks ago, had a good chat over the phone with Hecky then came in and discussed the role and his expectations, including what I can add to the group because all the staff have specific roles and areas of the team to focus on."
Phillips joins Millers
Rotherham United have signed goalkeeper Dillon Phillips, following his departure from Cardiff City.
The 28-year-old has signed a two-year deal with the Millers, having left the Bluebirds at the end of last season.
He had previously spent the last campaign on loan at Belgian side KV Oostende.
Phillips is the fifth signing of the summer for Rotherham, and this move will see him link up with fellow ex-Bluebirds Lee Peltier and Sean Morrison in south Yorkshire.
