Roma may choose to sell Miralem Pjanic now to avoid an excessive salary raise, with Juventus first in line to buy him.

Speculation continues to surround the Giallorossi's key market figures, with the Bosnian and Radja Nainggolan at the centre of most discussions.

While the directors in the capital have repeatedly stated that they have no intention of selling Pjanic, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports of a scenario that could make them change their minds.

Roma may choose to sell Miralem Pjanic now to avoid an excessive salary raise, with Juventus first in line to buy him.

Speculation continues to surround the Giallorossi's key market figures, with the Bosnian and Radja Nainggolan at the centre of most discussions.

While the directors in the capital have repeatedly stated that they have no intention of selling Pjanic, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports of a scenario that could make them change their minds.

Apparently Pjanic is not willing to renew his contract unless his salary is raised very substantially, to a point that the Lupi can't really afford to pay.

With his current deal expiring in 2018, it might therefore make sense to cash in on him now rather than next summer, when other clubs could take advantage of the short remainder of his contract to negotiate a cheaper price.

While the priority would be to sell Pjanic abroad, Roma may well turn to Juventus if they cannot find a better deal. Apparently the Bianconeri are willing to offer up to €35m along with one between Simone Zaza, Roberto Pereyra, and Kwadwo Asamoah.
