Serie A leaders Juventus are eyeing up out of contract Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey.
Juventus chief executive Fabio Paratici has confirmed that the club is interested in the player with Ramsey’s contract set to expire in the summer after first signing with Arsenal in 2008.
Juventus already have a very strong midfield with Miralem Pjanic, Blaise Matuidi, Sami Khedira, Emre Can and Rodrigo Bentancur all featuring for Massimiliano Allegri’s side this season while Paratici confirmed that the Serie A champions are monitoring Ramsey’s situation with the Gunners.
”He’s a great player, he’s been at great levels for years and plays in a great team,” he told Sky in Italy
“It [Ramsey’s contract] is due to expire and we are always attentive to the situations that can be created. Juve are on him.
Will Ramsey play with us after July? This is all to be verified. For now, he is an Arsenal player.”
Ramsey said in October that he thought he had agreed a new deal with Arsenal only for negotiations with the club to break down but he insisted that these scenarios are an inevitability in football and that he just has to carry on playing his football.
“Everything has been going great with the club – we thought we were in a position where we had agreed a deal but that’s no longer the case,” Ramsey said. “So I just have to carry on playing my football and do my best for Arsenal this season and I’ll leave the rest with the club.
“Am I disappointed? That’s a decision they have made and things happen in football and you just have to get on with it. That’s all I am concentrating on and giving my best for Arsenal.”
The Welsh international has scored 38 goals in 252 appearances for the North London club and has won three FA Cups as well as two player of the season awards during his time at the Emirates.
