‘Juve wrong to sacrifice Pjanic’

Federico Bernardeschi’s agent has warned Juventus to forget about ‘sacrificing’ Miralem Pjanic for Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

Juve have been tipped to launch a huge bid for Milinkovic-Savic, but any deal for the Lazio midfielder could come at the expense of Pjanic, who himself has been linked with Barcelona.

Federico Bernardeschi’s agent has warned Juventus to forget about ‘sacrificing’ Miralem Pjanic for Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

Juve have been tipped to launch a huge bid for Milinkovic-Savic, but any deal for the Lazio midfielder could come at the expense of Pjanic, who himself has been linked with Barcelona.

“It’s not worth sacrificing Pjanic to get Milinkovic-Savic because Pjanic is at the height his mental and physical maturity, while I don’t consider Milinkovic-Savic superior to the Bosnian,” Beppe Bozzo told Tuttosport.

“Of course, he’s younger, but economically they’re valued the same and I consider them at the same level on a technical level.

“Higuain-Icardi swap? I say ‘yes’ for technical, tactical and environmental reasons. Higuain at Inter could represent what he was at Juve, an attacker motivated to win.

“Icardi in black and white would be a formidable signing, even if it would take him a little while to settle.

“Emre Can? He’s an exceptional signing because there were other top clubs in for him and he embraced the Juventus project.

“This shows how much appeal the champions of Italy have in attracting top foreign players.”
