Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey will reportedly sign for Serie A leaders Juventus.
Juventus chief executive Fabio Paratici confirmed on Wednesday that the club is interested in the player with Ramsey's contract with Arsenal set to expire in the summer after first signing with the Gunners 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 and the Bianconeri now look set to add Ramsey to the mix with the Wales international reportedly set for a move to Turin.

Paratici confirmed that the club were monitoring Ramsey's situation in London and added that they are open to bringing him on board.
”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.”
