Besiktas draws accounts to retain Pjanic; Galatasaray raises its hand

Miralem Pjanic Has agreement with the FC Barcelona until 30 June 2024. To two years for the term of his bond with the institution blaugrana, the bosnio looks for options for the next season, since it knows that it does not have fit in the group directed by Xavi Hernández for the 2022-23. His current team, the Besiktas, wants to retain him, but his high index card and the eventual cost of his traspaso definite are unfeasible for the finances of the club.

By his part, the Galatasaray would be had to bid by the midfield player. In the last hours circulated the rumour that planted to the ones of Domènec Torrent like alternative for the future of the player of 31 years, but the managerial blaugrana has denied any contact with the team to the cual defeated in the eighth of final of the Europe League. In the case of the Besiktas, the 'blanquinegros' would have the first option to remain with Pjanic, as long as they can pay his whole wage during the next season.

This year, 'the black eagles' agreed the cession of Miralem by a year paying 2.75 million euros of the total of the index card of the bosnio, that in the summer of 2020 signed by four seasons in return of 9.5 'kilos' net by year. The traspaso with the Juventus closed in 60 million euros more 5 in variables, with a clause of rescission of 400 million euros. However, after contesting 30 parties in where it did not add goals neither assistances, the club decided to look for him gone out the past summer.

In the Barça, Pjanic never could show the level that exhibited in his nine years in Italy. In five seasons with the Rome and four with the 'Juve', the bosnio consolidated like one of the best midfield players of Europe, ratifying the quality that had exhibited in France with the Olymplique Lyon between 2008 and 2011. Under the orders of Ronald Koeman, the player that the next 2 April will fulfil 32 years lost confidence and occupied a secondary role during all the 2020-21 for the first time in his career.

A grey season in Besiktas

Further of the interest of the Besiktas for retaining him, the first year of Pjanic in Turkey has been quite grey, mainly because of physical problems. The midfield player has lost a total of 15 parties by injuries in the ankle and in the thigh, suffering distentions that have kept him until 66 days of drop in the 2021-22, where has contested 22 parties, with 4 assistances. The bosnio no unseen his love and wish to return to the Juventus, but for the moment the 'Vecchia Singnora' has not manifested intentions to recover him.

Like this the things, the future of Miralem aims to Turkey, although no with too much clarity. The Barça is had to yield him by another season as long as his club commission to pay him the whole of the wage. A sale seems the most complicated way, since the player has devaluated considerably and the blaugranas would lose too money leaving him go by hardly 20 or 25 million euros (his current value in Trasnfermarkt is of 15 'kilos').
