Aaron Ramsey admits he was looking to escape his “comfort zone” when walking away from Arsenal, with an offer from Juventus too good to turn down.
The Wales international midfielder had spent 11 years in north London prior to hitting free agency in the summer of 2019.
Fresh terms at Emirates Stadium had been put to him at one stage, but that offer was rescinded.
Ramsey ultimately decided that the time was right for a change, with a new challenge sought outside of British football.
Serie A champions Juventus were quick to snap him up on a long-term deal, with a talented 29-year-old delighted to have swapped one European heavyweight for another.
Explaining his move from England to Italy, Ramsey told Foot Truck: “Juventus is a massive club, one of the top teams around in the world so when they come calling for you it’s hard for you to turn them down.
“I was in a position where I was at a club for a very long time and I fancied a change to get out of my comfort zone to learn a new language, hopefully very slowly.
“Again to test myself in a different league and all the cup competitions we’re still in.
“We’re a top team and hopefully we can go far in many things and win many trophies and titles here.”
Ramsey was speaking to former Arsenal team-mate and current Juve colleague Wojciech Szczesny. (Goal)
