It looks like Sarri will take over at Juventus. His teams play good football, so it should be good news for Ramsey. I think Sarri will value Ramsey's attributes as well. If Hamsik can thrive under him I see no reason why Ramsey can't.

Ramsey now officially a Juventus FC player as of this morning! I wonder if there are any plans for an 'official unveiling' presser today?

He’s going to completely boss it in Italy. Skill, agility and far too big an engine for anyone else in that league to cope.

From the Daily Mail, so take with a pinch of salt:
"Aaron Ramsey will play key role in a three-man midfield for Juventus next season...
Juventus do however hold slight concerns over Ramsey's history with injuries, which is one of the reasons the club hired the pioneering AC Milan lab founder Daniele Tognaccini to work on Sarri's backroom team.
Tognaccini, who is a close friend of Sarri's, turned down the chance last year to follow him to Chelsea but has decided to join him at Juventus having left AC Milan in 2018.
He established the Milan lab in 2002, which played a key role in extending the careers of players such as Filippo Inzaghi and Paulo Maldini.
The main aim of the lab was to meticulously collect as much information on a player that individual injuries could be foreseen and prevented rather than merely treated.
Tognaccini has been assigned the task of getting Ramsey 100 per cent fit for the new season. The midfielder has already been informed of his new fitness regime, which includes aerobic and athletic sessions, limiting efforts in the gym."

Also - "Juventus boss Maurizio Sarri wants to build his side around Aaron Ramsey and is planning to deploy the summer signing in a three-man midfield for next season. Sarri is a huge admirer of the Welshman and made it one of his earliest priorities to establish a tactical system that would suit him. After having a number of discussions with sporting director Fabio Paratici, the Italian has whittled it down to either 4-3-3 or 4-3-2-1. Sarri is considering both formations for next season with Ramsey expected to be a key figure in the heart of their midfield. Ramsey, who moved to the Italian champions on a free transfer from Arsenal, is even ahead of their other big summer addition Adrien Rabiot in the pecking order."

According to Wiki, Filippo Inzaghi played until the age of 38 and Paulo Maldini til he was ... 42 ;-)) I am looking forward to seeing Rambo crowned player of the tournament in USA WC 2026 ;-))

bUT hE'd bE LuCKy tO PlAY fOr BOurNeMOuTH Bournemouth would be able to give Juve a game at this rate I’m being only mildly facetious. I just don’t see Italian football having any purpose at the moment. The league lacks competitiveness and Juventus, by far the stand out side, seem to be going backwards. Let’s be honest Sarri is not a top tier manager, they’ve re-signed a 41 year old keeper on a free. Rabiot is a bit of a ‘meh’ signing. It’s not even worth discussing the likes of Inter and Napoli, if they can’t hold a candle to Juventus they can’t be spoken of in the same breath as Man City, Barca and Liverpool. Ramsey will have a nice armchair ride in the league every week, if he plays. Won’t get near a champions league winners medal though, even with Ronaldo carrying them. Italian football needs a cold hard injection of money, but they won’t get it because no-one will pay big money for the rights because as a product it’s just not interesting enough anymore.

I don't buy the argument that the Italian league isn't competitive. You have a stand out team in Juventus, but the reason they tend to run away with the league is that teams such as Napoli, Inter, Roma, Milan, Lazio, and now Atalanta all take points off each other. Therefore, I'd suggest the league is quite competitive, it's just that the top team are head and shoulders above the rest. By your argument the same could have been argued about the Premier League before Liverpool signed Van Dijk. If they hadn't signed him, Man City would be running away with the league year in year out, but it wouldn't mean the Premier League isn't a competitive league. In terms of Ramsey not winning a Champions League medal I'd say Juventus are in the top 5 most likely to win it next year. Mourinho said that the Italian league was the most tactical league he's ever played in, and that it was his proudest league title winning it with Inter as every game was a challenge due to the tactical nature of the Italian league. I agree that the teams below Juventus aren't likely to be competing for the Champions League yet, but that doesn't mean the league isn't competitive.

Some fair points there, particularly about what makes a competitive league. I should probably specify that I’m referring to a competitive title race which, let’s be fair, Italy has not had much of in years (as with France). I can totally buy that it’s the most tactical league...but that doesn’t really make it a better sell to fans other than purists who would rather watch a tactical game than a game involving the world’s best players because, Ronaldo aside, the world’s best players are not going to Italy because the money isn’t there. So as a product itself, Italian football is suffering, traditionally low scoring, dominated by one team so title races aren’t there and if they are it will be Juventus that wins it anyway, not many high profile players...all of that is going to starve it of money and as we have seen with the PL you need the money to bridge the gap between the rest and Juventus. Are they in the top five to win the CL? I would have Liverpool, Man City, Barca, PSG, Real Madrid and Atletico, possibly even Tottenham ahead of Juventus. They seem like a quarter final side really and they aren’t really strengthening in the way needed because they have blown their budget for the next few years on Ronaldo and are now limited to free transfer bargains which isn’t really enough to compete with the spending of the PL clubs and Barca and Real Madrid. It’s like trying to build a high performance sports car from spare parts found in a junk yard.

It’s like trying to build a high performance sports car from spare parts found in a junk yard. Yeah I agree that it may not be the most exciting nor the most marketable to fans. Apparently they are introducing a new tax exemption law in Italy to encourage more foreign talent to move to Italy. I'll link a video about this below. I definitely have them ahead of PSG, Real and probably Atletico. PSG have no experience beyond the quarters whereas several players in Juve's squad have played in finals. Real Madrid are undergoing a major transition and I think it will take them a few years to get back to competing in the Champions League. Atletico have lost Godin, Rodri and Griezmann and could be losing Costa, so I'd put Juve ahead of them at the moment. Who knows, maybe our Aaron will take them up another level. I read that Allegri identified that Juve lacked goals from midfield, which is why he sought after signing Ramsey, maybe he'll be the missing link.

Think Juve will have another great season Must be one one of the favourites for the champions league. Signing de Ligt obviously improved them and gives Serie A some improved publicity- although at the expense of making Juve even more likely to walk the league than they were before. But I still don’t see them as serious Champions league contenders. Are they better than Man CIty, Liverpool and Barcelona? With Zidane back Real are still probably above Juventus in the pecking order. Still no better than quarter finalists in my opinion.

Juve isn't a bad side, but like others have said, Serie A is hardly a taxing league. They're essentially a Bayern/Celtic with a couple more 'competitive' matches to keep them fit for European football.
Inter/Milan aren't worth shit these days, which only really leaves Napoli who tend to self-destruct.
