Who is Ammar Ramadan the Syrian wonderkid who snubbed AC Milan in favour of Juve

His name is Ammar Ramadan and he is born on January 5th 2001 in Syria. His father Munaf was a Syrian player who played for Jableh. He encouraged little Ammar to play football as he is one to watch for in the future. 

MILAN WANTED HIM BUT... - In October 2015, the Ramadan family arrived in Lombardy (this per IlBianconero). His father Munaf tried to find a football school for his son as he tried out with the "Polisportiva Cimiano". It only took a few dribbles for everyone to understand that he has a special talent. After scoring 13 goals in 5 games for the Giovanissimi Regionali A, the Cimiano phones wouldn't stop ringing. Milan (who have a good understanding with Cimiano thanks to De Sciglio who played there), Inter, Torino, Atalanta, Cagliari were all interested. In the end, it's Juve who came out on top as Ramadan arrived on trial with Davide Cei's U-15 side last season. He is ready to enter the Bianconeri world...

U-19 PERFORMANCES - With the Juve U-17 side, Ramadan played 111 minutes this season as he has been everywhere. He has a similar style of play to Dybala as the future seems very bright for young Ammar. The 16 year old is already in the Syrian U-19 side as he put in solid performances to date. Juve are quite excited about him as he is ready to keep on learning in months to come.
