Pjanic close to return to Juventus

Italian media have claimed that Miralem Pjanic will return from Barcelona if Weston McKennie leaves

.

The Bianconeri signed Manuel Locatelli on loan from Sassuolo on a summer transfer, but Massimiliano Allegri has asked the club to sign a playmaker , so Pjanic is close to returning to the Allianz Stadium. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Barcelona also welcomes Pjanic's loan transfer and is willing to pay half of his salary.

However, the Bianconeri need to reduce their salaries for the transfer, and Barcelona have turned down an offer for one of their midfielders, so they will have to look for a new club.

But the only Juventus player to have attracted attention in Europe is Weston McKennie. Tottenham's current director, Fabio Paratici signed McKennie for Juventus a year ago and now welcomes his move to north London, but their offer for the American midfielder will be on loan.

But in order for Juventus to sign Pjanic, they will have to sell one of their midfielders on a permanent basis, and it remains to be seen what they will do in the end.
