Juventus coach Sarri admits Barcelona target Pjanic 'in sensitive moment'

Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri is tightlipped about Miralem Pjanic's proposed move to Barcelona.

Pjanic is expected to leave Juve in a swap for Arthur Melo.

“I don't know the situation, but we're relying on him fully right now," Sarri said at a press conference.

“The lad is coming out of a delicate moment, but his technical ability isn't up for discussion.

“I don't know if he'll be sold, but I haven't heard anything from the club. For now, there's no such story.

“Arthur's a Barcelona player, talking about him wouldn't seem right. I didn't like it when Setien talked about Pjanic, our player. That's why I won't talk about Arthur."
