Ramsey joined the Serie A giants on a free transfer from Arsenal in 2019 but the 30-year-old has failed to hit the heights in Italy.
The lack of fitness and form has raised speculation that Rambo could return to the Premier League, with Everton linked as a potential summer target. 
Ramsey said: “It’s been a pretty frustrating couple of years for me, picking up little injuries and not being able to get back to full fitness.
“It’s been a strange time in general, which hasn’t helped – arriving at Juventus with an injury, trying to get my fitness back, then you’re hit by a pandemic and we had to start again.
“It’s been difficult to get any consistency going, and that’s had an effect on me playing for Wales.”
Ramsey has only turned out once for Wales in their last 11 internationals – prompting a section of Dragons fans to question his commitment of playing for his country.
But the 61-cap ace says he is desperate to be fit, firing and available to star for Robert Page’s side at Euro 2020.
Ramsey told FourFourTwo magazine’s Euro special: “I’m very proud to play for Wales and want to play for them as much as I can, but it’s been limited in the last few years.

“The aim is to get back into decent shape and show what I’m capable of again.
“I still feel like I have many years ahead of me, and it’s just about getting my body back into a decent place where it can perform regularly again. I’m confident that I can do that.
“It was so great to be part of that camp where we had to beat Azerbaijan away and did, then took it to the last game and won.
“To grab a couple of goals that night to send us into another finals was just perfect, a proud moment. I’d missed a lot of games in that campaign, so for me to feel like I contributed and helped the team was important.”

Ramsey was named in the team of the tournament at Euro 2016 when Wales reached the semi-finals under Chris Coleman.
So what can the Dragons achieve this time, with group games against Switzerland, Turkey and Italy to come?
Ramsey joked: “The final this time!”
He added: “No, we’ve got a completely different team now, a young team, but who knows what can happen? We’ve proven that when we’re together, we can give anyone a game. We want to get out of the group and see how far we can go.
“Wales got to the semi-finals last time and nobody would have imagined that. As long as you’re on the same page and heading in the right direction, then stranger things have happened.”

CR7 still possesses a year on his bumper contract in Turin.
But, given his current unhappiness, he could seek to cut his time in Italy short a year early.
And it wouldn’t necessarily be a huge blow for Juve, who are reportedly being financially crippled by Ronaldo’s contract in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
But where could the 36-year-old end up? SunSport examines five options at the former Real Madrid and Manchester United star’s disposal in the coming months.
SPORTING LISBON
Ronaldo could return to where it all started, especially if his mother Dolores, and Nike, have anything to do with it.
CR7 scored five goals in 31 games for Sporting as a teenager, before being snapped up by Man United in 2003.
With his sponsor Nike replacing Macron as the Portuguese side’s official kit supplier next season, and Dolores being a die-hard fan, Ronaldo could complete an emotional return to see out his career in his home country.

MAN UNITED
On the subject of returns, perhaps Ronaldo could finally make his way back to Old Trafford, arguably the ground where he is most loved in the entire world.
CR7 left the Theatre of Dreams for £80million in 2009, and received an incredible reception upon his first return with Real Madrid in 2013.
And with centre-forward Edinson Cavani looking set to leave this summer, a spot upfront will be vacant – as well as Ronaldo’s iconic old No7 shirt.

REAL MADRID
Club president Florentino Perez recently rubbished reports that Real Madrid are trying to bring Cristiano back to Santiago Bernabeu.
But if they miss out on top targets Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland… stranger things have happened.
Ronaldo scored an incredible, barely believable 450 goals in 438 appearances for Real Madrid, winning four Champions Leagues along the way – with the club having failed to win another since his departure.

PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN
Not many teams have the financial clout to be able to afford Ronaldo – but PSG do.
The French champions could be in a spot of bother this summer, with the prospect of Kylian Mbappe and Neymar both signing new deals looking questionable.
Should they lose one or even both, the Qatar-backed club will be desperate to make a big statement in the transfer window, and Ronaldo could fit the bill.

INTER MIAMI
Maybe it’s a little early for Ronaldo to head stateside, having still been prolific in Italy this term.
But David Beckham doesn’t believe selling the project to CR7 would be too tricky.
Becks, 46, recently told ESPN: “To be honest, it’s not a difficult pitch. You just say ‘Miami’ and they’re like, ‘okay!’”

JOSE MOURINHO could call upon some old friends to help build his new Roma team into Serie A title contenders.Having only left Tottenham just over two weeks ago, the Portuguese coach has completed a whirlwind move to the Italian capital for next season.

The Giallorossi have been keen to highlight the 58-year-old’s ‘long term’ commitment to the project and a dramatic summer spree is unlikely.
Owner Dan Friedkin may be worth north of £3billion but heavy club debt and Financial Fair Play will keep a cap on their immediate ambition.
Therefore Mourinho will be expected to invest his time into the crop of youthful stars currently making their name in the Eternal City.
Nicolo Zaniolo, 21, Lorenzo Pellegrini, 24, Marash Kumbulla, 21, and Amadou Diawara, 23, are set to form the core of the team for years to come.
More young signings are likely to come through the door but some cash may be set aside for relatively cheap, reliable veterans to help push the side back into the Champions League.
Mourinho could pick up some old favourites with Nemanja Matic available for his third stint under the coach for the right price and Erik Lamela tipped to leave Tottenham for around £5m in the summer.

David Luiz is another who fits the bill when his Arsenal contract expires although Roma are already well-stocked in central defence.
Chris Smalling was a regular under the manager at Manchester United and is the experienced head alongside emerging talents Kumbulla, Gianluca Mancini and Roger Ibanez.
It is in attack where the new manager may seek to focus his energies amid Edin Dzeko’s continually rumoured move to Inter Milan.
The Bosnian’s exit could lead to Borja Mayoral being made the focal point of the frontline alongside Zaniolo and a new signing.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan was once a favourite of Mourinho’s but is out of contract in the summer, while ex-Chelsea star Pedro’s deal runs for another year to keep him as a reasonable squad player.
A right-back may also be sought to provide competition for the impressive Rick Karsdorp although Alessandro Florenzi may be back from a loan spell at Paris Saint-Germain if his purchase option is not enacted.
Napoli defender Elseid Hysaj is set to become a free agent and has been linked with the club.
Getting shot of well-paid fringe players will also be a priority with Federico Fazio, Javier Pastore and Juan Jesus potentially on their way out.
