Milan and Italy legend Franco Baresi has hailed Juventus for pulling off a ‘great coup’ to sign Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey.
Ramsey will join Juve once his contract with Arsenal expires this summer, the Welshman becoming the Bianconeri’s latest Bosman coup after the likes of Andrea Pirlo, Paul Pogba and Emre Can in recent years.
“I’ve seen him play. He’s obviously a great player,” Baresi told BBC Sport.

“I’ve seen him play. He’s obviously a great player,” Baresi told BBC Sport.
“I think Juve has really landed a great coup there and I’m sure he’ll be able to adapt to Italian football.”
The Rossoneri old boy was then asked about the fortunes of his former club, as well as their rivals for Champions League qualification.
“Juventus has owned Serie A in the last few years so it’s important to see what the other teams can do in terms of growing,” explained the 58-year-old.
“Teams like Inter, Roma, Milan, Lazio and Napoli are definitely all growing at the moment.
“Champions League qualification will be very important for Milan this year. It brings in money, it brings in opportunities for investment and chances to progress so it’s important.”
