Juventus set massive Miralem Pjanic price-tag/player could renew contract over coming weeks

As per a report from Sky Italia this evening, Italian giants Juventus have slapped a minimum asking price of 100 million Euro on midfielder Miralem Pjanic.

Pjanic, a 28-year-old Bosnian international, made the move to Turin from fellow Serie A outfit AS Roma in the summer of 2016 for a fee of 32 million Euro.

And the Metz youth product has since gone on to play a starring role for the Bianconeri, having been transformed into a deep-lying ‘regista’ by Juve boss Max Allegri after spending much of his stint with Roma playing in a more advanced position.

Pjanic’s absence is sorely felt when the former Lyon man is missing from the Old Lady’s midfield, with the tempo and flow of the Serie A champions’ attacks heavily dependent on the Bosnian’s calm demeanour in possession and splendid range of passing.

The 79-time capped international is also widely regarded as one of the finest set-piece specialists on the planet, a key aspect in Pjanic’s 7 goals and 14 assists across all competitions this past season.

Reports stemming from both Spain and France last month claimed that Pjanic’s form in Turin had caught the eye of both Barcelona and Real Madrid, with the former rumoured to be particularly keen following Andres Iniesta’s departure for Japan.

However, the last couple of weeks have seen Italian outlets claim that the most intense interest in Pjanic’s services in fact stems from the Premier League, with Chelsea and Manchester City named as potential destinations.

And, with the former having since poached Napoli standout Jorginho from under the nose of City, the Citizens have subsequently been labelled as the most likely landing spot for Pjanic.

But, as per an update courtesy of Sky Italia tonight, the giants of the Premier League and beyond look set to miss out on Pjanic this summer, after Juventus slapped a minimum asking price of 100 million Euro on the Bosnian.

In addition, Sky also claim that Juve made contact with Pjanic’s new agent, Fali Ramadani, earlier today, to inform him that the 28-year-old is essentially viewed as non-transferable, with the possibility existing that he could even renew his contract in Turin over the coming weeks.
