Franco Baresi Says Aaron Ramsey Free Transfer Is a 'Great Coup' for Juventus

Italy legend Franco Baresi said Aaron Ramsey's capture on a free transfer is a "great coup" for Juventus.

The Arsenal midfielder has agreed a deal to join the Bianconeri at the end of the season after the Gunners withdrew their offer of a new contract.

Per BBC Sport, former AC Milan star Baresi said: "I've seen him play. He's obviously a great player. I think Juve has really landed a great coup there, and I'm sure he'll be able to adapt to Italian football."

The Welshman will leave the Gunners after more than a decade at the club, having joined from Cardiff City at just 17.
