Juventus manager Maurizio Sarri claims that he is unaware of any details surrounding a potential swap deal involving Miralem Pjanic and Barcelona's Arthur.

Juventus manager Maurizio Sarri has claimed that he is unaware of any details surrounding Miralem Pjanic's proposed switch to Barcelona.

Barca are reportedly on the brink of sealing a deal for the midfielder in a move which would see Arthur head in the other direction, and Sarri's side will also fork out €10m (£9m) as part of the deal.

The two players are supposedly set to undergo medicals at their prospective clubs this weekend, although Sarri has admitted that he would like to see Pjanic remain in Italy for a little while longer.

"I don't know if Pjanic will no longer play with Juventus, I have not received any communication," Sarri told Sky Italia.

"These are not things that interest us, the market only starts in September. Miralem's a professional, he understands situations quickly.

"I don't know anything at the moment, but I'm not worried. He'll be with us until the end of August. I hope he'll stay with us even beyond that, but these are decisions that will be made at a later stage."

Pjanic has turned out 36 times for the Old Lady across all competitions this term, scoring three goals and assisting four more.
