Miralem Pjanic given ultimatum

Miralem Pjanic in action for Barcelona

Barcelona have reportedly told Miralem Pjanic to find a new club. The Bosnian joined the club last summer but is no longer in Ronald Koeman's future plans.

According to SPORT, Roma, Juventus and Inter Milan are all interested in Pjanic but will need the midfielder to take a pay cut in order to sign him. The player, however, is not keen on doing so.

Barcelona are desperate to get Pjanic off their wage bill as he is one of the highest earners at the club.

Barcelona have loan offers for Pjanić from Roma, Inter Milan and Juventus, but with all of them, Miralem would have to lower his wagee. Barça have set an ultimatum and would like his case to be completed next week. [sport]
