The name Miralem Pjanic continues to be linked with Barcelona as a potential signing. Above all, in Italy, where La Gazzetta Dello Sport claim the Blaugrana are ready to pay the release clause of the Roma man, who has been on the club’s agenda for many years.

If true, it would mean Barça are happy to pay 38 million euros for the Bosnian midfielder, whose desire is to leave Roma this summer for a club where he can win titles.

It should be remembered that Luis Enrique has already worked with Pjanic, during his time as manager of the Serie A club. The Asturian coach witnessed first hand the great qualities possessed by the midfielder, despite the fact he’s still only 26.

Pjanic, who stands out above all for his ability to direct play, was the tormentor of Real Madrid in the Champions League in 2009-10. After losing 1-0 in the first leg in Lyon in the last 16, Los Blancos were eliminated when they conceded a goal from the Bosnian after they’d previously drawn the tie level.
