Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey has ended speculation over his future by signing a pre-contract agreement with Italian giants Juventus, according to CalcioMercato.
Ramsey’s future at Arsenal has been under intense scrutiny with the midfielder’s contract set to expire at the end of the season, and the report claims Ramsey has reached an agreement with Juventus.
Negotiations have been ongoing for a number of days and the Welshman has reportedly put pen to paper on a five-year deal worth €6.5million-a-year, after Juventus announced their interest in the midfielder at the start of the January transfer window.
The 28-year-old, who is set to be ending his 11 year spell at the club after joining from Cardiff in 2008, has reportedly favoured a move to the Old Lady, despite interest from a number of Europe’s top clubs.
Ramsey has been an influential figure in recent years for the Gunners, making 352 appearances for the club and scoring 60 times from midfield.
Calcio Mercato also report that Sami Khedira could be part of the deal going the other way, suggesting the Germany international is set to move to the Emirates at the end of the season.
Ramsey could be set to feature for Arsenal in Saturday’s FA Cup third-round tie against former Premier League side Blackpool, who are currently 10th in League One.
