New Juventus coach Max Allegri is in contact with Barcelona midfielder Miralem Pjanic.

Gazzetta dello Sport says Allegri wants to bring Pjanic back to Juve for the new season, with the pair having previously worked together in Turin.

Pjanic left Juve a year ago for Barca in a swap for Arthur Melo, but the deal hasn't worked out for the Bosnia international.

Pjanic is keen to return to Juve and has the approval of Allegri.

Any deal, however, will strictly involved a loan arrangement.
