Pjanic

According to reports from The Daily Star yesterday evening, Barcelona have entered Liverpool and Manchester United’s race for Roma star Miralem Pjanic.

As This Is Futbol revealed last week, the Merseysiders view the Bosnian international as a like-minded successor to captain Steven Gerrard – set to move to the MLS at the end of the season – but the Red Devils are ready to match any offer from Anfield, requiring further depth in central midfield themselves.

The 25 year-old is widely regarded as one of the top talents in Serie A, this term bagging four goals and six assists in 27 appearances whilst averaging an impressive 2.1 chances created per-match.

But it appears that status has now attracted interest from Barcelona. They view the £40m-rated star as somebody who could take Xavi’s playmaking mantle in their midfield, with the 35 year-old World Cup winner set to leave the Nou Camp at the end of the season.

Due to their transfer embargo, the Catalan giants won’t be able to sign Pjanic until January 2016 – but the allure of the Nou Camp could be enough to see him reject advances from the Premier League.

    Carefully,we must look at the styles of both Xavi and Iniesta and see the players that suit their style of play.And to my opinion Paul Pogba and Arsenal playmaker Santi Carzola could be a possible replacemet for the legends.And for defence Matteo Darmian must be sign as possible after we loss confidence whether Dani Alvez should leave Camp Nou at the end of the campaign.Also Paolo Dybala must replace Pedro Rodriguez.
