Barça's Pjanic finalising move to the Premier League or Juventus

Miralem Pjanic could be the next to leave Barcelona. He is in permanent contact with his people and the club and would like things sorted this week to not have to return to preseason with Barça.

Things are progressing well because there is a lot of interest and a loan looks likely. His options are Juventus and the Premier League, where Arsenal and Tottenham are keen.

Barça have weighed up their options with Pjanic but didn't contemplate releasing him for free because he's a player with a good reputation in Europe.

In addition, the Bosnian midfielder has never stood in the way of an exit because he wants to play more and not have a season like he did at Barça last year.

His first option has always been to return to Juve. The Italian club's main problem is they need to first move on midfielders that are not to Allegri's taste and that's not proving easy.

Tottenham enquired about Pjanic weeks ago and their new coach, Nuno, has given the deal the green light. But now Arsenal have also joined the race. Barça are open to any deal.

Pjanic is on holiday and it's more than likely he doesn't return to Barcelona, even though he's due back for preseason training in the coming days.

If everything goes well, he will have a new club this week. Both in Italy and in England they still see him as a player who can make a big difference.
