According to transfer news from TEAMtalk, Chelsea are stepping up their efforts to sign Miralem Pjanic. The Blues want the struggling Barcelona midfielder on loan as they look to offer the player to several clubs.
The 31-year-old is a product of Metz’s youth academy. After a season with the French outfit’s senior set-up, he moved to Lyon. He stayed there for three years and established himself. The midfielder then moved to Roma before joining Juventus in the summer of 2016.
The Bosnian went on to become a world-class midfielder with the Italian champions, helping them win several trophies including three Serie A titles. He moved to Barcelona in a swap deal, with Arthur heading the other way. However, he has not enjoyed the same level of success there.
It has now been said that Barcelona are looking to cut their losses on Pjanic and have offered the Bosnian to a bevvy of clubs around Europe. Chelsea are exploring the option of a loan deal despite his struggles in Spain. The bigger stumbling block would be his huge wage packet but Chelsea are willing to look past that.
Pjanic is also considering his future at Barcelona. Nonetheless, Chelsea are willing to wait and sign him depending on how the situation goes. However, the interest looks quite puzzling in the sense that Chelsea have a few central midfielders already and bringing in a 31-year-old Pjanic who has not had the best of seasons hardly seems like a great idea.
