Fans of Manchester City have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which relays reports that they are interested in bringing Juventus midfielder Miralem Pjanic to the club.
According to reports in Italian publication Corriere dello Sport (via Sport Witness), Juventus believe that the time may finally be right to sell the 29-year-old, having rejected offers in the past for the midfielder, while there is significant interest from English sides Chelsea and Man City.
In reaction to the reports, which were relayed by Man City Xtra on Twitter, fans of the club flocked to have their say on the matter, with many stating their belief that City do not need another midfielder, while others claimed that Pjanic was now too old to be a decent signing.
Manchester City ‘want’ Juventus midfielder Miralem Pjani?, while Chelsea also 'like' the 29-year-old.

What do we think?
Despite the protests of many City fans, the £58.5 million-rated Pjanic is having a fine season in Serie A, scoring three goals and providing four assists over his 22 fixtures, while averaging an impressive WhoScored match rating of 7.05.
In fact, over the course of his four Serie A seasons at Juve, the Bosnian international has averaged a WhoScored rating of 7.20, demonstrating that despite his advancing years, he still has plenty left to offer on the pitch.
In addition to this, Pep Guardiola will have a spare slot in central midfield as of next season, with the long-serving David Silva leaving the club after 10 seasons in Manchester.
