JUVENTUS are demanding £70million for Miralem Pjanic after Chelsea joined Barcelona in the chase for the playmaker.
The Bosnian’s representatives have allegedly already been contacted by the La Liga giants regarding a possible move.
Now claim the Premier League Blues have entered the race for the ace.
The report states the FA Cup holders want him to provide competition for Cesc Fabregas at Stamford Bridge.
And Pjanic is set to be quids in with both Barca and Chelsea set to offer him a more lucrative deal than he currently gets in Turin.
Barcelona are looking for fresh talent following Andres Iniesta’s exit.
If Maurizio Sarri replaces Antonio Conte as expected in West London, then the Italian coach will be familiar with the Juve midfielder’s abilities after seeing him in Serie A action.
But Pjanic will not come cheaply.
The Scudetto winners want the huge figure in order to finance a swoop for a replacement.
They have targeted Lazio towering Serbian Sergej Milinkovic-Savic to fill Pjanic’s boots should he depart.
