PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN are planning a summer transfer bid for Miralem Pjanic as Juventus consider selling following a dip in form, according to reports.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juve are considering moving Pjanic on after he was dropped from the starting line-up for the 2-0 win over Inter Milan last weekend.

Pjanic, who joined from Roma in the summer of 2016, has been a key figure in the Juve side in recent seasons but his poor performances have tempted the club to consider offers for him.
The Bosnian international has made 31 appearances in all competitions for the Serie A leaders this season, scoring three times.
Despite Pjanic, 29, being contracted until 2023, Maurizio Sarri will be keen to replace the midfielder in the summer.
Having spent five seasons at Roma, Pjanic made the move to Turin and has won three Serie A titles and a Champions League in four years at Juve.
Uruguayan midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has been Sarri’s preferred option in central midfield with Blaise Matuidi and former Arsenal star Aaron Ramsey playing alongside.
Juventus reportedly want to tie Cristiano Ronaldo down for a further two years – extending his contract beyond his 39th birthday.
According to Tuttosport, his side are hoping they can convince the ex-Real Madrid man to stay at the Allianz Stadium.
Ronaldo’s current four-year deal signed in 2018 runs out in 2022.
And an extra two years – taking him until the end of the 2023-24 season – would mean he turns 39 in his final season in Italy.
This season he has scored 25 goals in 32 appearances, including 21 in 22 in Serie A.
