Miralem Pjanic and Juventus officially announced the star midfielder has signed a new contract on Tuesday, with the deal set to run until 2023.
According to Tuttosport (h/t AS), the former AS Roma man was linked with a transfer to Real Madrid earlier this summer, but the new contract should quiet any remaining transfer speculation.
There were also links with Manchester City, but manager Pep Guardiola denied those rumours, per ESPN FC:
Pjanic moved from the Italian capital to Turin in 2016 and became the club's most influential midfielder almost overnight. The 28-year-old acts as the team's primary creative outlet in midfield, using his exceptional passing range and vision to great effect.
The club shared some of his highlights to celebrate his renewal:
Pjanic is also a set-piece expert, taking the bulk of the team's corner kicks. Summer arrival Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to move ahead of him in the pecking order for free-kicks.
As the top link between defence and attack, Pjanic plays a crucial role, and keeping him at the club was vital. The new contract all but assures his immediate future lies in Turin, removing any transfer distractions.
Miralem Pjanić is set to sign a new contract with Juventus until 2023 and will see his annual salary rocket by €2m.
According to Di Marzio, the Turin club have offered the Bosnian fresh terms to ward off Real Madrid who have reportedly held an interest this summer.
The 28-year-old’s current deal runs until 2021 and will be extended by a further two years with Pjanić’s earnings rising from €4.5m to €6.5m.
Juventus management met on Tuesday and the midfielder will put pen to paper in the week.
Should everything go swimmingly as expected, Pjanić will become the club’s third-highest player behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Paulo Dybala.
