Arsenal Midfielder Aaron Ramsey Agrees To Join Juventus In 5-Year Deal Worth £36m

Arsenal forward, Aaron Ramsey has agreed a five-year deal with
Juventus worth £36m and will join the Italian champions on a free
transfer at the end of the season.

The midfielder has been discussing a move for weeks and will leave
Arsenal after 10 years at the club. It had been clear the Wales
international would move in the summer and Juventus had been the
frontrunners to secure the 28-year-old’s signature.

Ramsey will be paid around £140,000 a week (£7.2m a season), making
him Juventus’s second-highest earner behind Cristiano Ronaldo but ahead
Paulo Dybala and Douglas Costa.  

Juventus, who have won the past seven Serie A titles, signed Ronaldo
for €100m last summer and are nine points clear of Napoli in second
place after 19 games. They have reached two of the last four Champions
League finals, albeit losing both, to Barcelona in 2015 and Real Madrid
two years later.

They are in the last 16 of this season’s competition, where they face
Atlético Madrid.  The Juventus manager, Max Allegri, and the director
Fabio Paratici are huge admirers of Ramsey, who is likely to be given a
place in the Juventus starting XI, most likely playing with Miralem
Pjanic and Blaise Matuidi in a three-man midfield. He is likely to
replace one of Emre Can, Rodrigo Bentancur and Sami Khedira, with the
latter possibly leaving the club in the summer.
