Juventus reportedly remain keen to re-sign Miralem Pjanic from Barcelona, but multiple factors are threatening to scupper a summer move.
The 31-year-old is expected to leave Barcelona after just one season and was left out of Ronald Koeman's squad for the Blaugrana's 4-2 win over Real Sociedad at the weekend.
Pjanic and Juve manager Massimiliano Allegri enjoyed a successful relationship during their first spells at the Old Lady, with the Bosnian making 178 appearances and winning four Serie A crowns under Allegri's tutelage.
According to Calciomercato, Allegri would be keen to reunite with Pjanic in Turin, but a return may not come to fruition this summer as Juve prioritise the signing of Manuel Locatelli from Sassuolo.
The report adds that failure to offload Aaron Ramsey could also scupper a move, while Juve would also want Barcelona to fork out at least 20% of his €8.5m (£7.2m) yearly salary.
Pjanic made 30 appearances across all competitions for Barcelona last term, but he failed to claim a goal or assist and only started six games in La Liga.
