Pjanic, the man chosen

The economic crisis caused by COVID-19 will make clubs become inventive to try and strengthen their squads. One idea is to do swap deals.

Barcelona are one of the clubs thinking precisely about swapping players, this time with Juventus. Miralem Pjanic could move to Barca.

The Bosnian has just turned 30 at the best time of his career. He is good with the ball at his feet in midfield, he organises play well as well as being able to reach the opposition box.

According to 'Marca', Pjanic is the man Barcelona are wanting. They believe the Juve man could become an important part of Setien's side.

Barcelona will insist on getting the Bosnian footballer. The move could see Arthur Melo leave in return, 'RAC1' reports. This is despite the Brazilian expressing his desire to stay on multiple occasions.

However, Barcelona will not find it easy. PSG also want the player whose contract in Turin runs until 2023.

Juventus know they can sell their player, but not at the price they were thinking of a couple of months ago. And the thing is the crisis will make clubs come up with new ways of signing the players they want.
