News about Miralem Pjanic

Miralem Pjanic, a former Barcelona midfielder, has revealed that Xavi, the company's former player, wanted him to stay at the club until he left for Sharjah, the United Arab Republic. The Bosnian joined the Catalonian club as part of a player swap with Juventus, which saw Brazilian midfielder Arthur move to Serie A. Pjanic's hopes were high for him to succeed at the Camp Nou after excelling in Italy at Roma and Juventus, but after one season, he had trouble finding his best form in Spain and was loaned out to Turkish side Besiktas.

PETE JENSON SPAIN: The consequences of Barcelona's early departure from the Champions League could be as costly as having to sell several players with Frenkie de Jong back in the shop window and possibly out of favour Ferran Torres has offered to potential suitors. A lot will happen between now and the end of the season, and winning a Europa League and LaLiga double would help make up for the hole in Europe's biggest tournament, but the club is left hanging on to repair their broken finances.

The former West Ham star said it would be impossible to consider seeing 'terrorist' Russia on the field of play despite its army killing civilians in his homeland, and vice versa on Wednesday. Since starting its invasion of Ukraine in February, Russia has been barred from UEFA and FIFA matches, with the Court of Arbitration for Sport dismissing an appeal against that exclusion in July.

No one would have bet a single penny on Udinese's spectacular start to Serie A, but this extraordinary start to the season has renewed all the hopes of a team that is destined to be Italy's "Cinderella" story after Atalanta and Igor Tudor's Hellas Verona. Udinese flies and does not want to land on the earth anymore: it is a war machine with all the capabilities to surprise the top clubs and show how money is not linked to triumph in Italy as well as in Europe. For many years, there have been no victories of mid-level clubs in Italy, but the story in England has much more recent, with Jamie Vardy and Claudio Ranieri leading the Foxes to Premier League glory in 2016.

According to UEFA, the team was alerted of Bosnia and Herzegovina's controversial proposal to schedule a friendly with Russia well before it was announced. Bosnia will play Russia in a friendly match in November, igniting doubt from skipper Edin Dzeko, midfielder Miralem Pjanic, and Sarajevo's mayor. The game is scheduled to begin in St Petersburg on November 19, just one day before the World Cup in Qatar is set to begin.

Bosnia and Herzegovina will face Russia in a friendly match in November, sparking outrage from skipper Edin Dzeko, Bosnia midfielder Miralem Pjanic, and Sarajevo's mayor. The game in St Petersburg is scheduled to begin on November 19, one day before the World Cup in Qatar is set to begin. Because of Moscow's takeover of Ukraine, which Moscow described as a'special operation,' Moscow barred Russia's national teams from international competition. Bosnia did not qualify for the World Cup because of its poor preparations.

Pjanic joined Juventus for £51 million in the summer of 2020, but barely made it until November, when Ronald Koeman decided that the Bosnian was not in his plans. He spent the following season on loan for Besiktas before returning this summer, where it seemed at one point that he might have been part of Xavi's plans. Pjanic's deal with the club had mutually ended, with the midfielder tiling for Sharjah FC in the UAE immediately after. The Bosnian made 30 appearances for the club, six of which were La Liga debuts, and he spent last season out on loan in Turkey with Besiktas, indicating he was well below the pecking order. Barcelona erupted with a ferocious stay with the LaLiga giants when they announced his release.

PETE JENSON, SPAIN: Director Mateu Alemany and Jordi Cruyff walked away from the Camp Nou in the early hours of Friday morning, as exhausted veterans who had performed a minor miracle this summer, bringing in eight internationals. 'It's been a good window,' Cruyff said from behind his own car window to the scrum of journalists. Barcelona's tone is strong. This summer, the suits have excelled... now it's over to Xavi. Barca's window has been a huge improvement over what was expected at the end of last season, but the tough work on the pitch has started, and Xavi knows he will have no excuses.

ALVISE CAGNAZZO INITALY: Arthur (right) seems to be a lot like Thiago Alcantara on first glance, but on closer inspection, it could be the Liverpool midfielder who is in the best position to develop Arthur. Arthur is one of the most popular midfielder who lacks any sort of energy as Jurgen Klopp (left) will discover that he is ponderous on the ball and is akin to a Subbuteo footballer. He has spent three bitter years with Juventus in Serie A, where tactical and fitness issues have tarnished his reputation.

Liverpool have closed a season-long loan contract with Juventus' Arthur Melo as a result of the Premier League's transfer of the midfielder on Monday. Arthur stays for the remainder of the season before returning to Turin with no buy option included in the contract.

Pep Guardiola, a professional, returns to the Nou Camp on Wednesday evening as Man City faces Barcelona in a friendly. It will be the first time the City manager has supervised at his former club after a 2016 Champions League group stage tie, where a Lionel Messi hat trick boosted the Catalan giants to a 4-0 win. The game starts at 8.30 p.m. UK time and will feature Barcelona transfer target Bernardo Silva for the visitors, but it will be interesting to see what kind of reception the Portuguese playmaker gets.
