Juve confirm Ramsey interest

By Football Italia staff

Juventus have confirmed their interest in signing Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey. “He’s a great player, we really like him.”

Juve were one of five foreign clubs that BBC Sport reported were in talks with Ramsey, who will leave Arsenal once his contract expires at the end of the season.

“We hope it’ll be a season that’s at least as good as those in the last 6-7 years,” sporting director Fabio Paratici told Sky Sport Italia.

“Our priority is for the Champions League, it’s become an objective and we feel competitive enough to be leading lights, certainly more so than in recent years.

“With Cristiano Ronaldo, we’ve become more aware of how good we are, even if we had a great squad beforehand and always did well in the Champions League.

“Ramsey? He’s a great player, we really like him and he plays for a great team. His contract is expiring and we’re always alerted to situations that the market offers, so we’ve also been alerted to Ramsey.

“I repeat, for now he’s an Arsenal player and we’re not the only team who want Welshman. Mbappe? It’s a very imaginative possibility.

“Imagination helps, but in January it helps you little and even in June he’d be very difficult to sign.

“Allegri? He is the best Coach possible for us and I think Juventus are right for him. Kean leaving? No, we’ll try to keep all the players that are here.

“Marotta? No, no derby with him [in the transfer market]. We’re focused on Juventus and others are focused on theirs.

“Having said that, we know each other well and both know what the other person can think.”
