Aaron Ramsey reveals that he turned down other offers to join Juventus on a free transfer.

Aaron Ramsey has revealed that he turned down other offers to join Juventus this summer.

Ramsey agreed a pre-contract with the Italian champions earlier this year and has now officially completed his move to Turin following the expiration of his Arsenal contract.

The Wales international has said that he simply could not turn down the opportunity to move to the Italian giants when he became aware of their interest.

"As soon as I knew Juve were in for me there was no question of where I was going to go; you can't turn down that opportunity," Ramsey told reporters.

"I'm so excited to be here and be part of this great club. Hopefully I can be part of some new history we can write together. I'm looking forward to that challenge.

"Yes, there were other clubs but this is the right club for me. It's a great club; one of the biggest in the world. To have the opportunity to come here and play at the top level is a dream.

"It's a challenge to come over and experience a different way of life and different culture. I'm going to embrace that and hopefully everything goes nicely over here. I know how hard it's going to be but I've prepared."

Ramsey scored 64 times in 369 appearances for Arsenal between 2008 and 2019, winning three FA Cup crowns during his time with the club.
