Miralem Pjanic pens new Juventus contract

Juventus have announced that midfielder Miralem Pjanic has penned a new long-term contract.

Pjanic has spent the last two seasons in Turin, with a total of 14 goals being scored from 90 appearances in all competitions.

The impact of the Bosnia-Herzegovina international has resulted in interest from elsewhere, with Manchester City having been linked with a summer approach for the player.

However, Juventus have moved to confirm that they have handed the 28-year-old a new five-year contract, taking his stay at the club to 2023.

Pjanic played the full 90 minutes as Juventus registered a 3-2 victory over Chievo in their Serie A opener at the weekend.
