Youth: Miralem Pjanic (Metz)

Catalan sports paper Sport reports that Barcelona will closely follow Metz attacking midfielder Miralem Pjanic (17) from now until the end of the season, starting by sending a scout to the Metz versus Nice game this weekend.

Pjanic is a Bosnia born player who has three nationalities: Bosnian, Luxembourger and French. He is currently playing for the Bosnian U-21. Although already a dozen of major European clubs had shown interest in the player, Pjanic signed last November a three year deal with Metz, that will take effect from July of this year. Pjanic made his debut for Metz' first team in August last year.
