Spanish giants Barcelona are working on possible additions in the next transfer market and are targeting AS Roma’s talented midfielder Miralem Pjanic, whose position is also being monitored by English side Tottenham Hotspur.
The North London club are desperately looking to bolster their midfield in January, as manager Andre Villas-Boas is keen to fill up the voids left by Luka Modric and Rafael van der Vaart, both left the club in the summer to Real Madrid and Hamburg respectively.
The 22-year-old who joined Roma from French outfit Lyon in 2011 for 11m Euros has come under criticism from manager Zdeněk Zeman is recent months despite putting in impressive performances on a regular basis. Though Michele Gerbino, agent of Pjanic, doesn’t see any chances of his client moving out in the next transfer window, but could consider exceptionally good offers.
Although Roma are refusing to enter into any sort of negotiation for their star midfielder at the moment, but according to reports in Spain, Catalan giants Barcelona are hopeful of pricing the Bosnian international away in January.
The chances of playing for one of the best teams in the world would definitely tempt the player to think about his future again and could make him reject a move to Spurs.
