Manchester City rule out move for Chelsea and Barcelona target

23 lug 2018

According to the latest reports from Sky Sports in the UK, Manchester City have turned down the chance to move for Juventus midfielder Miralem Pjanic, who is a wanted target of both Premier League rivals Chelsea and La Liga giants Barcelona.

Pjanic has been linked strongly with a move away from Juventus, as the Turin club looks to first and foremost recoup funds for the costs spent on Ronaldo; whilst also seeking to possibly bring in the likes of Paul Pogba or Sergej Milinkovic-Savic to bolster the side’s midfield strength.

Now, with the Premier League champions ruling out a move for the Bosnian midfielder, it opens the door for Chelsea or Barcelona to strike. However, Paris Saint-Germain have also been linked, and, in fact, offered the player, as they attempt to wrap up a deal to sell Adrien Rabiot to Barcelona.

Now, the transfer chain is beginning to react; only time will reveal how it unravels.
