The Bosnian international is considered amongst the best center-midfielders in the world. Juventus bought Miralem Pjanić from AS Roma back in 2016 for a reported fee of €32m.

He has thus far made 84 appearances for The Old Lady, scoring 16 times and contributing to 25 assists. The 28-year-old likes to keep hold of the ball and dictate the play from midfield. He has great vision in the field and completes 90.7% of his attempted passes and averages 65 passes per game.

The midfielder is astute defensively and wins 1.6 tackles per game and completes 1.1 interceptions per game.

On the attacking front, he's the creative backbone of the team. He averages 2.2 key passes per game for Juventus across all competitions so far this season in the Serie A.

The Bosnian has 4 goals and 3 assists so far this season and will surely continue to be a maestro with the ball in midfield.
