Juventus have confirmed Aaron Ramsey will be joining the club from Arsenal once his contract is up in the summer.
The Welshman had been heavily linked with a move to the Old Lady during the January transfer window but stayed put at Arsenal despite confirmation he would not be renewing his contract.
Aaron Ramsey signs for Juventus: Four key things to know…
- Aaron Ramsey’s contract at Arsenal is up at the end of the season, and the Welshman had not agreed a new deal.
- The Welshman had been linked with a move to Juventus both in January and once is Arsenal contract ends.
- And Juventus have now confirmed Ramsey has signed a pre-contract with the club, officially joining in the summer.
- Ramsey has signed a four-year deal with the Old Lady, reportedly earning him £400,000 per week.
On Monday, reports emerged that Ramsey had signed a pre-contract with Juventus set for the end of the season, including a £400,000 weekly wage.
And soon after, Juventus confirmed the news, with Ramsey joining on a four-year deal from the summer.
Ramsey joined Arsenal in 2008 and had been a key member of the squad under Arsene Wenger, for both his controlling midfield play and important goalscoring. But his playing time has been more of a peripheral figure for Unai Emery, starting just 16 of his 30 appearances to date.

And, speaking shortly after the announcement, Ramsey thanked Arsenal for their support and promised to give his all until his contract is up.
“As you may have already heard, I have agreed a pre-contract with Juventus Football Club,” he wrote on Twitter.
“I wanted to issue a personal statement for all the Arsenal fans who have been extremely loyal and supportive. You welcomed me as a teenager and have been there for me through all the highs and lows I’ve encountered during my time at the club.
“It is with a heavy heart that I leave after 11 incredible years in North London. Thank you.

“I will continue to give the team 100% and hope to finish the season strongly, before heading on to my next chapter in Turin.”
At the time of the Welshman’s announcement, Juventus also confirmed they will have to pay €3.7m by July 2019 as a result of Ramsey’s registration.
