The exit plan continues: A former Juventus leaves Barcelona and returns to Serie A
The Bosnian international is not within Ronald Koeman's plans for this new season, so Juventus is putting pressure on the Culé team to regain their squad.
After the departure of Lionel Messi from FC Barcelona, Ronald Koeman will have to restructure his squad for the 2021-22 season of LaLiga Santander. Now, it was known that Miralem Pjanic will not play in this new season with the Culé team and will be loaned to Juventus in Turin.
The Bianconero team, led by Massimiliano Allegri, put a lot of interest in having the midfielder back in their squad. Of course, from Italy they demanded a great sacrifice, which the footballer managed to fulfill in recent weeks.
This is how the newspaper Sport tells it, Pjanic accepted a salary reduction of 20% of his contract with the Catalans, with the idea that the 'Vecchia Signora' can pay his salary and that with his file in the Barça squad, it can be fulfilled with the limit that is marked in the competition and UEFA.
That said, the Barça team and the Italians are finalizing the final details to close the Bosnian agreement, just one year after he will land in Barcelona. The deal is very close to being closed and it would be a loan until the end of the season, although it could be extended to two years.
On the other hand, during the match against Juventus in Turin at the Joan Gamper Trophy, the midfielder was one of the players who was treated the worst by the FC Barcelona fans. These actions made it clear that his future was not at the Camp Nou.
