Pajnic always pulls the string in midfield for Juventus.

The Bosnian has been a constant figure in the Juve midfield since his arrival from AS Roma. He is a player who can run the game by himself and he has transformed himself into a deep-lying midfielder, who is the perfect replacement for Andrea Pirlo.

Whenever he does not play for the Turin giants, his absence is clearly felt in their midfield. In the Champions League quarter-finals against Real Madrid, he missed the first leg via suspension and Juve lost 3-0, but on his return, he made a huge impact with his impressive passing game and Juve won that match 3-1.

With Barcelona's need for being always in control of the ball, the magician can provide them with ease of control in the midfield. Due to the presence of Busquets behind him, he can be more adventurous as well. Also, he should give Ivan Rakitić a good competition in the midfield.

His splendid range of passing skills makes him a perfect midfield player for Barcelona. He has also sharped his defensive game and regularly helps out his defence by reading the game and making tackles and interceptions.

The Catalan giants along with Real Madrid are already considering a move for the former Lyon midfielder.
