Midfielders
Miralem Pjanic
Trending
The Bosnian has been one of the best midfielders in Serie A in recent times, and signing him for less than a third of the fee Juve have received for Pogba is one of the masterstrokes of the transfer market.
Pjanic is brilliant at free kicks, has a gorgeous eye for a pass and is a sublime sight in midfield. He registered the same number of assists as Pogba did in the last Serie A season, and scored a goal more than the Frenchman.
Only 26, Pjanic has the attributes to play well into his 30’s and Juve could be the club at which he could finally achieve his fantastic potential.
Claudio Marchisio
Claudio Marchisio has similarities to Bastian Schweinsteiger in a certain sense, they are both versatile midfielders who found their best positions in the center of midfield later in their careers.
Marchisio has taken on the central midfield playmaker role after Andrea Pirlo’s departure and quickly became the heartbeat of Juventus and Italy. The Italian national team missed him and Marco Verratti thoroughly in the European Championships even though they performed brilliantly without them.
News only recently filtered through that Marchisio could make a comeback from his injury in October, and the entire club will be delighted with that news. Even considering the quality in the middle of the park for Juve, Marchisio’s range of qualities make him a unique and irreplaceable player.
Sami Khedira
Khedira is another of the players that reflect Juve’s brilliant work in the market. Signed on a free transfer, like Andrea Pirlo and Paul Pogba, Khedira has settled in Serie A almost seamlessly. It was immediately apparent how much Germany missed the 29-year-old dynamo when his tournament ended due to injury and he’s equally important to Juve.
Khedira chipped in with 5 Serie A goals as well last year and often takes up good positions in attack. There’s no doubting that he’s one of the best in the world at his position.
