Juventus have landed a finished product in the form of Miralem Pjanic.The Bosnia-Herzegovina midfielder has abilities to play as a box-to-box player or a deep lying midfielder. The club will be looking to him to take up the leadership responsibilities in midfield after the departure of Pogba.

Pjanic will be looking to build a lethal partnership with Dani Alves on the right in a 3-5-2 formation along with Sami Khedira and Claudio Marchisio. The 25-year-old midfielder who was signed for €32 million has tremendous ability to play balls into the final third and is also brilliant at set pieces.

The Juventus midfield might look incomplete with the departure of Paul Pogba to Manchester United but Juventus has enough depth in its squad to handle any given situation. The Italian club will be hoping to find football’s next Andrea Pirlo in Miralem Pjanic.
