Not long ago, Miralem Pjanic was considered among the best midfielders in Europe. Unfortunately for the 32-year-old, his best days seem to be behind him.
In 2020, the Bosnian left Juventus in a controversial exchange with Barcelona that saw Arthur Melo go in the opposite direction. Unfortunately, the transfer backfired on all parties involved.
The former Roma star struggled for form and playing time under Ronald Koeman, before joining Besiktas on loan in 2021.
While Xavi’s appointment offered little hope of a revival at Camp Nou, Pjanic’s position remains low in the pecking order.
According to ANSA via TuttoJuve, the Bosnian international will embark on a new adventure in the United Arab Emirates, where he will join Sharjah FC.
The source expects the playmaker to land in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday before signing a contract with his new club.
While the summer transfer session has already expired in most European nations, players can still seal moves to other destinations.
Juve FC says
Truth be told, Pjanic was already showing signs of decline since his last couple of campaigns in Turin. While some hoped he would return to Juventus, it is perhaps best to leave this chapter closed.
While joining a club in the United Arab Emirates suggests the player’s career will slowly fade from the spotlight, he will at least be able to count on a lucrative payday.
