Chelsea is plotting a move for Juventus star Miralem Pjanic this summer, reports say.
The Blues are set for a busy summer with the impending exit of Antonio Conte and the appointment of a new head coach. Maurizio Sarri is expected to take over from Conte and is familiar with Serie A having spent his entire managerial career in Italy.
Pjanic is considered one of the best midfielders in Serie A, but Juventus are willing to sell the 28-year-old to raise funds for other transfers.

Italian publication Corriere dello Sports claim Barcelona had been leading the race to sign Pjanic, but will now face competition from Chelsea. Juventus value Pjanic at £70million and Barcelona want the Bosnia and Herzegovina international to replace Andres Iniesta.
The club legend left Barcelona at the end of last season and the La Liga champions then missed out on their top target Antoine Griezmann. But, Chelsea wants Pjanic to rival Cesc Fabregas and eventually take over from the talented 31-year-old.
