Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey is one of the highest paid British footballers on the world football stage after he signed a contract with Italian Serie A giants Juventus.

Three-time European champions Manchester United were keen on signing Aaron Ramsey on a free transfer before the Red Devils lost out on the race to sign the Welsh international star to the Italians.

According to the report from trusted English news portal The Times, Aaron Ramsey will be paid £300,000 per week at Juventus after signing a pre-contract agreement to join them at the end of his Arsenal contract in the summer.

Welshman Ramsey will team up with his new teammates at the Juventus Stadium upon the expiration of his Arsenal contract at the end of this season.

Apart from Manchester United, other clubs were also interested in the former Cardiff City player.

German champions Bayern Munich, Italian Serie A giants Inter Milan and Chelsea were also keen to sign Aaron Ramsey.

He has six months left on his Arsenal contract and can start free transfer talks with clubs outside England.

Various media reports claim that an official announcement on his free transfer move to Juventus will be made next month having already done his medical with the club.
