For months, he has been cooking the signing of Miralem Pjanic for FC Barcelona. The Bosnian midfielder, who has liked the Barça club for many years, will finally wear Barça starting next summer, reaching his 30th birthday with great experience. The Juventus reached an agreement with the azulgrana team for an exchange of players in which culé will enter, Arthur Melo.
The operation between both clubs will be especially important in the economic field, since it will allow balancing the balance sheet accounts of both entities before the end of this financial year. Thus the things, Barça will pay Juventus 60 million euros for Pjanic and the Italians will pay another 70 million to the Catalans for Arthur, so the culés will take 10 ‘kilos’ of profit.
Despite being an operation forced by the economic situation, Barça have found a way to cover their sports needs as well. It is true that a player with a future like Arthur Melo will leave but, before a batch of magnificent young players like Riqui Puig, Frenkie de Jong, Pedri The Collado, a true teacher like Pjanic will arrive.
Bosnian is an ace in the middle of the field. He is one of those footballers who combines equally prodigious technique with great tactical intelligence, attributes that allow him to fit both midfielder and inside. Despite his age, he still has years at the highest level, and the truth is that he has been dazzling for many teams such as Metz, he Lyon Olympics, the Roma o la Juventus. Now he will have to do it at Barça.
Of course, when he was a footballer for the Roman team, he gave an interview in which he gave some statements that may not be too funny for Barcelona. “Now I’m fine in Rome, but I don’t know if I’m going out this summer or not. If they ask me about my favorite team, I’ll tell them that I’ve always liked Real Madrid since I was a child,” he said in an interview with the newspaper ‘Oslobodjenje’. collected by ‘Sport’.
But his team will be Barça
Despite the Madrid trend that he confessed in that interview, Pjanic will play for FC Barcelona to try to endow the Catalan team with the ideas and energy that are lacking lately. The Balkan is a formidable player both in defensive work and in the elaboration of the game, which is why he can mix well with players like Frenkie de Jong, Sergio Busquets The Riqui Puig.
