Juventus' veteran centre-back Giorgio Chiellini says he was a fool to snub Arsenal when they came knocking him for him when he was 16-years-old. Chiellini has revealed that Arsene Wenger wanted him to join Arsenal but he chose to remain at Livorno.

In an interview with So Foot, Chiellini said:

“In hindsight, I was a fool to decline that offer. I was 16, I played in Serie C, I got a huge offer. I didn’t feel ready. If I had accepted, it would have given the impression of betraying Livorno.”

According to CalcioMercato, European giants Inter Milan, AC Milan, Juventus and Manchester United are all monitoring Fiorentina centre-back Nikola Milenkovic. AC Milan have been linked with the 22-year-old for a while now but the report claims that they are not the favourites to sign him as things stand.

The youngster could make his way to England as Manchester United are currently in pole position to sign him. Fiorentina have slapped a €35 million price tag on Milenkovic and Manchester United are reportedly willing to match that.

Robert Pires tips Aaron Ramsey to return to Arsenal

Arsenal legend Robert Pires has tipped his former club to bring Aaron Ramsey back to North London. It wouldn't be much of a surprise if Juventus let the Welshman leave in the summer seeing as how he isn't really first-choice anymore.

Pires told TuttoJuve:

“He is very intelligent and knows how to adapt everywhere, Juve is a very big club and Serie A is improving him even more. He needs to stay a few more years and then he will return to Arsenal. It is my belief, I am not a fortune teller.”

Pires also claimed that Ramsey will be a great fit for Mikel Arteta's side.

“Aaron would be perfect in Mikel Arteta’s game system, but he belongs to Juve and he has to stay focused on the Old Lady to win trophies. This year he has already won one, I hope it’s just the first in a long line.”
