Miralem Pjanic is leaving FC Barcelona and top European football. The Bosnian moves to the United Arab Emirates.
There was a time when Miralem Pjanic was ranked among the best midfielders in the world. That was a long time ago; at that time, the Bosnian laced his shoes for AS Roma and Juventus Turin. With his move to FC Barcelona, his star began to decline.
In the past two years, Pjanic has completely dismantled, which was also due to the lack of playing time at Barca. Even a loan to Besiktas Istanbul could not help. Pjanic has not played a role in the plans of the Catalans for a long time. And now the struggling club has finally gotten the Bosnian off the payroll. On Wednesday, Pjanic signed a contract until 2024 (with an option for a further year) with Sharjah SC in the United Arab Emirates. There, the 32-year-old will meet Paco Alcacer, who also switched to Sharjah from LaLiga (Villarreal) this summer.
