not too reliable, especially after last summer, when he pushed his pep agenda until literally the last hour before juve announced sarri. but this rumor has been going around for a while, and even paratici all but confirmed the talks in an interview the other day.
pjanic was about to be sold last summer before allegedly sarri stopped the sale, so no wonder that his motivation dropped for this season, seeing that the club doesn't really care about him anymore. he's still a quality player. barcelona want pjanic because he's much better and consistent (yes, tuz) than all of their midfielders bar busquets, he's available, and juve is open to swap deals. barca was lacking liquidity badly even before this corona-shit hit the fan.
