5 replacements for Andres Iniesta at Barcelona

#4 Miralem Pjanic

Miralem Pjanic - Juventus

Miralem Pjanic is one of the best central midfielders in the world at the moment. Assists? Goals? Freekicks? You name it, and he has it. He is coming off the back of yet another remarkable season for the Old Lady, with 14 assists and 7 goals and has yet again made the Seria A Team of the Year.

His vision, off the ball movement and array of passes at his disposal make him tailor-made for Barcelona. At 28, he is entering his prime and now is the time for Barcelona to make a move for him. He moved from Roma for 28 million and if Juventus were to let go of one of their best midfielders, they need to be tempted with a bid in excess of 70 million pounds.

Already boasting the likes of Busquets and Rakitic, the addition of Pjanic will add a new dimension to the attack. While he may not possess the dribbling ability of Iniesta, he compensates with his exceptional reading of the game and ability to dictate the play, which is fundamental to Barcelona's style of play.

The midfield needs a huge overhaul this summer and Valverde has ensured that there will definitely be changes. Clearing out of several fringe players will ensure that Barcelona find the required funds to lure the former AS Roma playmaker.
