Miralem Pjanic might be linked with Barcelona, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, but the midfielder says Juventus are ‘a family, an extraordinary club’.
Juve boss Maurizio Sarri is said to be no longer counting on Pjanic, amidst speculation he could swap sides with Jorginho, Arthur and – to a lesser degree – Leandro Paredes.

Juve boss Maurizio Sarri is said to be no longer counting on Pjanic, amidst speculation he could swap sides with Jorginho, Arthur and – to a lesser degree – Leandro Paredes.
However, the Bosnian told Laurent Agouazi – Under-19 assistant coach of his former team Metz – on Instagram: “Juventus are a family, a club of the highest level.
“When you see the trophies they’ve won, you tell yourself that you have to add to them. It’s an extraordinary club.”
The 30-year-old was more of an attacking midfielder in his younger days, so who convinced him to play deeper?
“Before coming to Juve, [Max] Allegri told me he wanted to put me in front of the defence. I got used to it gradually, he told me where I had to improve.
“However, that doesn’t stop me from going back to the position of ‘mezz’ala’.”
