Is Pjanic the new Modric?

The Modric saga keeps going on and shows little sign of stopping according to 'Calciomercato.com'. They claim that, despite Real Madrid being adamant that Modric will not leave the club they are searching the market to find a replacement should they fail to hold on to the Croatian.

Miralem Pjanic is the man who Madrid have their eyes on. The Bosnian midfielder is not guaranteed to stay at Juventus and could end up as a member of 'Los Blancos'.

The European champions are reportedly preparing a bid for the central midfielder if Modric does leave for Inter Milan.

It seems as though Wednesday will be the crucial day for Luka Modric's future because that is when he returns to training. The midfield maestro will meet with Florentino Perez to talk about his future, and potentially about leaving for Inter Milan.

After this meeting both Modric and Pjanic's futures will be clearer. Both players are very important for their respective teams, but the wish for a fresh challenge could launch a chain reaction which will see Modric end up at San Siro and Pjanic at the Bernabeu.
