Juventus are reportedly exploring options to strengthen their midfield, and the search for a creative deep-lying playmaker has led to an intriguing name from the past: Miralem Pjanić. The Bosnian, born in 1990, is currently without a club and remains a familiar face in Turin, having worn the black and white from 2016 to 2020 before his move to Barcelona.
IlBianconero report that the suggestion of a possible reunion has circulated mainly among fans rather than through any official club discussions. For now, it remains an idea—a romantic notion more than a concrete possibility. At present, there is no indication that Juventus have made contact with the player or his representatives. Still, as a free agent, Pjanić would be an accessible option should the club’s search for a regista align with his profile.
Recent Playing Career
Pjanić’s most recent experience came in Russia with CSKA Moscow during the 2024–25 season. He made 25 appearances across all competitions, providing three assists in 1,537 minutes of play. Prior to that, he spent two productive seasons in the United Arab Emirates with Sharjah FC, where he featured 63 times, scored five goals, and delivered 16 assists. Despite the shift to a less competitive league, his quality and influence on matches remained evident.
Maintaining Fitness
Physically, Pjanić appears to have managed his later career well. Records show his last injury came in early 2023, causing him to miss five matches for Sharjah FC. Since then, he has maintained a strong level of fitness and has been consistently available for selection—an encouraging sign for any club considering a short-term addition.
Could Juventus Make the Call?
While the prospect of Pjanić returning to Juventus currently exists only in the realm of imagination, the idea has captured attention due to the club’s clear need for a player with his technical traits. For now, it’s no more than speculation, but given his connection to Turin and availability on the market, one can imagine that if the phone rang with a +39 011 prefix, Pjanić would not hesitate long to answer.
