Spanish giants Barcelona have made a couple of nice signings with the additions of Sergio ā€˜Kun’ Aguero and Memphis Depay. Moreover, they’ve already secured Lionel Messi for at least another season, which is great news given his alleged desire to leave.

Nonetheless, the current outlook is far from positive for the Blaugrana, who are reportedly sitting at a ā€˜mountain of debt’ and have been asked to part ways with several assets immediately.

According to ESPN and The Sun, Philippe Coutinho, Samuel Umtiti, and Martin Braithwaite would be the first to leave the club. But now, it seems like there’s also plenty of interest in Miralem Pjanic.

Transfer Rumors: 3 Big Clubs Want Barcelona’s Miralem Pjanic

The 31-year-old Bosnian was an elite playmaker in his prime but failed to score or make an impact in his first season at Camp Nou, so the club wouldn’t mind watching him leave if they get a reasonable offer.

Juventus

Pjanic’s best years came inSerie A with AS Roma but he was also one of the best midfielders in the tournament during his tenure with Juventus. There, he’d be back under Massimiliano Allegri’s command, so he’s clearly a natural fit. The Italian side is eager to get back to the top of the table and adding a familiar face would be a nice first step in that direction.

Chelsea

Thomas Tuchel and the reigning UCL champions Chelsea will have a green light to spend this summer and get some reinforcements. The Blues are expected to strengthen the center of the midfield, with Pjanic being a great option for more depth behind N’Golo KantĆ©, Mateo Kovacic, and Jorginho.

Paris Saint-Germain

Paris Saint-Germain were reportedly the first team to reach out to Barcelona for Pjanic’s services and were in the clear to snatch him away. Now, the French giants will have to go to war with the two aforementioned clubs to land the Bosnian star. But hey, you know money has never been an issue for them.
