The former Old Lady midfielder left the club in 2011, but he is aware of the rumours surrounding the Italian champions.

One of the most discussed stories right now is that of Beppe Marotta's alleged plans to steal Pjanic from Roma.

“It's hard to judge these things from far away,” Salihamidzic told Calciomercato.it. “Having said that, I'd be very happy to see a fellow Bosnian wearing the Bianconeri colours.

“I think that when called by Juventus, any player should respond 'here I am'.

“As for Dzeko, he is a fabulous player and I don't think his qualities can be questioned. I believe that a player coming in from another championship should be given one year to settle in, before any final judgments can be made.

“I don't think he really showed all of his potential, and I believe Roma fans will see the real Dzeko only next season.”

Salihamidzic also worked with Claudio Ranieri when he was at Juventus, the Coach who was behind Leicester City's miraculous win of the Premier League this year.

“Ranieri is a Coach that taught me very much when I was Juventus. I'm happy for him and for what he did with Leicester.

“Winning the championship in England is yet another step forward in his career. That of Leicester really is a nice story, especially considering the way he won it. They certainly weren't the favourites.”
