Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey ‘signs’ pre-contract agreement with Juventus

Aaron Ramsey has reportedly signed a pre-contract agreement with Juventus in a deal that includes an £8million signing on bonus.

Ramsey is out of contract with Arsenal at the end of the season and has been courted by some of Europe’s biggest clubs.

Juventus are understood to be desperate to secure the signature of the Wales international as they look set to miss out on PSG’s Adrien Rabiot, who is also out of contract this summer.

It is hoped the incentives being offered to Ramsey will lure him to Turin and convince him to snub teams like PSG and Inter who are also believed to be after him.

The Italian media are reporting the 28-year-old has been offered a five-year deal with a fixed salary of £5.85million per year, which is a small upgrade on his current Arsenal deal.

According to Gazzetta Dello Sport, Juve will pay him an extra £449,000 if he plays 50 per cent of their games in a season. This would then rise to £900,000 if he plays in 70 per cent.

Ramsey reportedly signed a pre-contract agreement with Juventus on Thursday, but there has been no official confirmation of this.
