Barcelona have announced the signing of Miralem Pjanic from Juventus for a fee of €60million after confirming the exit of Arthur Melo to the Italian champions earlier on Monday.
Pjanic will join the Catalan club at the end of the current campaign after passing a medical on Sunday, with Arthur also moving once the 2019/20 season is completed.
"FC Barcelona and Juventus have reached an agreement for the transfer of player Miralem Pjanic," Barca said on their website, less than two hours after announcing Arthur's sale for €72m plus add-ons.
"The cost of the operation will be 60 million euros plus 5m in variables."
"The player will sign a contract with the club for the next four seasons, until the end of the 2023/24 season, with a buy out clause of 400 million euros."
Barca described the 30-year-old Bosnian as a 'total midfielder' on their website.
"Pjanic has played in every midfield position, whether that be as an attacking midfielder at Metz or in a slightly deeper role at Olympique Lyonnais and Roma," they said.
"His ability to join attacks whilst coming from deep as well as his excellent free-kick taking abilities have seen him score his fair share of goals.
"Furthermore, his technical quality, vision of the game and commitment make him one of the best midfielders in football today."
