Miralem Pjanic managed to convince Xavi Hernández to have him for 2022-23 and, according to the newspaper 'AS', the Bosnian will stay at FC Barcelona after accepting a salary reduction. Thus, the coach from Egar adds an unexpected 'reinforcement'

Calendar of FC Barcelona

When beginning the pre-season, Miralem Pjanic was one of the 'descartes' safe of the FC Barcelona for the 2022-23, but the bosnio, conscious of his difficulties to find team, preferred to add early to the trainings and work hard to convince to Xavi Hernández. And it attained it. Now, the one of Tuzla aims to remain in the club after, as it advances the newspaper 'ACE', has accepted a considerable discount to his wage, fixed in 6 million net euros annual in 2020.

From the beginning of the pre-season, Pjanic showed that it still has conditions to surrender to the maximum level. After a disappointing season in Turkey with the Beşiktaş in where the injuries mermaron his performance, the player of 32 years threw of job to convince to the technician egarense with his usual abstemiousness to handle the balloon, drive and give safe exit to the team, characteristic that the míster of Terrassa considers do not abound in the staff culé.

Like this, Xavi opted for carrying to Miralem to turns it American, giving him minutes in front of the Juventus and the New York Network Bulls in the second part. When going back to Catalonia, the trainer was clear with the midfield player: if it went down his index card, would continue in the club and will explain for the 2022-23. And like this it has done it. Pjanic Has agreement until June of 2024 and wants to forget his bitter first season in the Barça, where aspired to be headline and finish having a residual role for Ronald Koeman.

The permanence of Pjanic could complicate the future of Nico

In principle, Xavi Hernández expects to consolidate to Nico González like the acting ideal of Sergio Busquets for the 2022-23. However, the permanence of Pjanic in the team could complicate the future of the Galician, the one who renewed the year happened until 2024 with a clause of rescission of 500 'kilos' and expects to have more leadership this season. With Nico, the Barça great until seven midfield players in the first team, without explaining to Pablo Tower, whose index card will happen to the filial, neither to Álex Hill, the one who will go out yielded in brief.

Thus, when remaining the bosnio, the one of A Coruña runs the risk to remain without place in the staff, since Miralem would alternate minutes with Busquets and Franck Kessié, in a half of the field in which Pedri and Gavi aim to be fixed in the eleven and where still subtracts to resolve the future of Frenkie of Jong. The Dutch insists in remaining , but unlike the bosnio is not had to go down his wage, a capital problem for the club considering his problems with the 'fair play' financial of LaLiga.
