MIRALEM PJANIC is reportedly attracting interest from Chelsea, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain ahead of a Barcelona fire sale.
The LaLiga giants are facing mounting debt and have been told to drastically cut their wage bill.
Samuel Umtiti, Philippe Coutinho and Martin Braithwaite are just some of the players linked with moves this summer.
According to ESPN, midfielder Pjanic is among them.
The 31-year-old signed only 12 months ago from Juventus in a contrived swap deal for Brazilian playmaker Arthur Melo.
Yet he has failed to light up the Camp Nou and did not score a goal during their failed LaLiga title bid.
Therefore Barcelona are said to be ready to accept a reasonable bid for Pjanic.
Massimiliano Allegri signed the Bosnian for Juventus in 2016 and helped turn him into one of the world’s top central midfielders.

The Italian is now back in Turin for the new season and is reportedly interested in securing Pjanic’s return.
But the Old Lady are thought to not be too keen on a permanent transfer with a significant fee.
Whether a loan deal is of interest to Barcelona remains to be seen.
Earlier in the summer, the player was said to want a move back to Italy.
Chelsea and PSG have also been named by Le10Sport as considering a loan bid.
Thomas Tuchel is preparing to spend big to turn his Blues team into Premier League title challengers.
On the German’s wishlist is a new centre-back with Sevilla’s Jules Kounde strongly linked alongside Real Madrid star Raphael Varane.
Former striker Romelu Lukaku has also been lined up but is not thought to be ready to leave Inter Milan.
