LONDON. — Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey has signed a pre-contract agreement to join Italian football champions Juventus in the summer in a deal that will earn him over £400 000 a week.

The 28-year-old has agreed a four-year contract that will see him join the Italian champions as a free agent, ending his 11-year spell with Arsenal.

Ramsey passed a two-part medical in January, having picked Juve following talks with a host of European clubs.

He will be the highest-earning British player ever, based on basic salary.

The Wales international will arrive in northern Italy on July 1, with his contract running until June 30, 2023. As his contract will have ended, Arsenal, will not be entitled to a transfer fee. —BBC Sport.
