Claudio Marchisio Endorses 'Fantastic' Aaron Ramsey & Reveals Why He Turned Down Move to England

Claudio Marchisio has revealed why he never made the switch to the Premier League, as well as explaining why Aaron Ramsey is the perfect player to succeed him at Juventus.

Marchisio, who recently retired from football at just 33 years of age, left Turin for Zenit St Petersburg in 2018, where he played just one solitary season before calling time on a career that had been disrupted by knee issues in its latter stages.

The Italian, who won 55 caps for Italy over an eight-year international career, has now admitted (via the Daily Mail) that he's unsure what to do now he's retired - but did reveal his admiration for Aaron Ramsey, as well as disclosing why he decided against moving to England, despite his admiration for the league.
