If a club were to pay the €38m release clause, then it would be up to Pjanic to decide whether or not to agree personal terms.
Considering the 26-year-old Bosnian international’s quality and experience, €38m seems entirely affordable in today’s transfer market.
Sides known to be interested in Pjanic include Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Manchester United.
