French newspaper Le Parisien claimed yesterday that Metz attacking midfielder Miralem Pjanic (18), who is being followed by Barcelona (read more here), would sign in the coming days a five-year deal with French champions Olympique Lyon, who would pay Metz a transfer fee of around 7 million euro°.
The agent of the Bosnian player, former West-Germany international Karlheinz Förster, nevertheless denied the report in an interview with Italian football site Calcio Mercato: "Today the boy has received a formal offer from Lyon and from three Spanish clubs. No club has a clear advantage, although Miralem has said to me that for him it would probably be easier to stay in France (read more here)."

I guess I wouldn't mind Barcelona getting this guy IF the price was right. I certainly wouldn't overpay to get him because the pressure's on Barca to win now! So although Pjanic would look like a very attractive prospect for the future, the team realy needs someone who can step in right away and perform. While Diego stands out head and shoulders above the rest, attempting to get into a bidding war with Madrid may be too cost prohibitive. Although the inclusion of a player (i.e. Dos Santos) and cash could soften up the blow. Either way, Barca need a proven commodity at that attacking midfielder position.
he's really good. in about 2 years he will cost 40m.I hope the kaka deal goes through and pjanic could be his stand in
