Departing Juventus midfielder Miralem Pjanic is delighted to be joining Barcelona.

Pjanic will move to Barca at the end of this season in a swap for Arthur Melo.

"Barcelona is one of the biggest clubs in the world and to be part of that is the highest rung for any footballer," Pjanic, who has agreed a four-year Barca contract, told the Bosnia national team website.

"For me it's a dream come true. I'm happy, proud, not just for me but for my parents and for all of Bosnia-Herzegovina. I'll never forget where I've come from."

The 30-year-old said that "success didn't come by itself but with great work, effort and confidence that in life you can achieve everything, and this is proof."
