Top 5 Borussia Dortmund transfer targets to replace Mario Götze

Miralem Pjanic (23), Attacking midfield, Roma

Scout Report

Pjanic more closely resembles other Borussia Dortmund players in his physical capacity. He is a strong mover, able to ride tackles and hold the ball strongly. His passing is precise and incisive and when running with the ball at his feet can create real problems. Perhaps a bit shackled in the more tactical Serie A than in the open Ligue Un where he starred at Lyon. Ideal for the Bundesliga.

Where does he fit at Borussia?

Fits in to the running ethos that has brought so much success but also has the streak of inventiveness and creativity that they need to compliment the drive.

How much?

Roma aren’t under any real pressure to sell other than from Pjanic’s own desire to play in the Champions League which means a price of at least £15m would be about right.
