Pjanic favors dream Barcelona move after Chelsea and PSG snub
Miralem Pjanic has his heart set on playing for Barcelona. According to Tuttosport, the Bosnian midfielder has refused any sort of interest from other clubs and has made his stance clear regarding a move to Barcelona.
There is heavy interest from French giants Paris Saint-Germain and one of the Premier League's big four clubs, Chelsea. However, Miralem Pjanic is fixed on playing for Catalonian giants Barcelona.
The Bosnian has already said 'no' to the offer from Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain. Although the two clubs are still pressing for him, neither of them have managed to convince the midfielder.
Barcelona want Pjanic but haven't agreed on a deal
Barcelona and Juventus have been under negotiations regarding the transfer of Pjanić for a while now but the two sides haven't been able to reach a suitable agreement.
Juventus have set a price tag of €60m for the Bosnian midfielder. The Bianconeri are facing financial issues and wish to off-load the midfielder to make room for Rodrigo Bentacur in the playing eleven.
Pjanic is one of Juventus' highest paid players in terms of wages. It seems that they are willing to let the player move to Barcelona if the Blaugarana can match the price they have set for the midfielder.
Barcelona have tried to swap Arturo Vidal for Pjanic. While the Bianconeri seem interested in the deal, Vidal has refused to be a part of the swap deal and does not wish to move away from Barcelona.
Barcelona set for a big window with Lautaro interest growing
While Pjanic seems to be assured of a move to Barcelona, the Bosnian is not the only player on the summer transfer list for the Catalonian side. Barcelona have been desperately trying to acquire 'El Toro' Lautaro Martinez from Inter Milan.
The Argentina striker is valued at €111m by the Italian club and Barcelona are yet to reach any sort of conclusion with Inter Milan over the transfer of the player. According to recent reports, Barcelona and Inter have been discussing a player plus cash deal for Lautaro Martine. This includes a sum of €70m plus Firpo Junior who has been valued at €40m by Barcelona.
