Juventus reportedly intend to repatriate Miralem Pjanic from Barcelona. Incidentally, Pjanic was only a sweetener on the Barcelona bench coached by Ronald Koeman.
Pjanic moved from Juventus earlier this season. Moved with a dowry of 60 million euros.
Pjanic's move is part of Arthur Melo's transfer deal. Barcelona released Arthur to Juventus for 72 million euros.
But Pjanic did not get many opportunities at Barcelona. In his first season, the midfielder from Bosnia Herzegovina only played 30 times and did not score a single goal.
As reported by Marca, Juventus intend to repatriate Pjanic. New Juventus coach, Massimiliano Allegri is said to be including the midfielder in his plans.
Allegri returns to Juventus to replace the sacked Andrea Pirlo. Previously, Allegri was rumored to be anchored to Real Madrid.

Meanwhile, Juventus' desire was reportedly welcomed by Pjanic. The midfielder wants to leave after Koeman is confirmed to stay.
Pjanic himself became one of Juventus' mainstays when coached by Allegri. Playing four seasons, Pjanic made 178 appearances and scored 22 goals.
