Rangers could be set to make a shock move for Juventus midfielder Aaron Ramsey, that’s according to fresh reports emerging from Italy [gianlucadimarzio].

Journalist Fabrizio Romano tweeted that Ramsey is keen to find a new club on deadline day, with Rangers a possibility. This could all come down to personal terms, although surely the wage demands will prove to be a stumbling block.

The report from Gianluca di Marzio suggests that Juventus are trying to work on an agreement to sell the Welsh midfielder to Rangers, but Burnley is also showing interest.

Aaron Ramsey would be an excellent signing for Rangers

Ramsey, if he remains fit, would be a fantastic signing for Rangers. His experience alone would instantly command a starting berth in the side.

Having made his name in the Premier League with Arsenal, winning three FA Cups, scoring the winner in two finals, and establishing himself as one of the finest midfielders in England.

The Welshman moved to Juventus upon the expiration of his Arsenal contract in the summer of 2019, but it hasn’t been all plain sailing in Serie A. the 31-year-old won the league title in his first season and Coppa Italia in his second, but he has only made three league appearances so far this campaign.

The player even won the Calcio Bidone award as the biggest flop in Serie A as a move away from the Bianconeri looks increasingly likely.

With reputable journalists Romano and di Marzio explaining that a move to Rangers could be a possibility, it still might be hard to believe that we could see him rocking up at Ibrox and starring in the Scottish Premiership.
