Prior to the start of Serie A, Juventus was threatened by a storm of injuries. Paul Pogba, a recent free agent from Manchester United, was injured while practicing with Juventus in the United States.
Miralem Pjanic, a former Juventus player who is presently on the playing for Barcelona, is being considered by Juventus as a potential replacement for Paul Pogba, who is anticipated to miss a significant amount of time due to a lateral meniscus injury to his right knee. Even his participation for France at the forthcoming 2022 World Cup is in doubt. Even worse, Pogba was forced to undergo surgery to have a piece of his meniscus removed from his knee. He will be out of work for 40 to 60 days.
Pogba's injury is very heavy for Juventus because Pogba and some of their summer purchases are predicted to be able to restore Juventus' performance even better this season. Juventus have lost the competition in recent seasons with Inter and Milan coming out as champions at the end of the season. So now Juventus may be looking for a replacement for a while because two months is a long time to recover.
Miralem Pjanic may be good, but he is still a barcelona player whose contract expires in 2024. If Juventus want to sign him then I think they will have to spend a bit on Barcelona. Miralem Pjanic is 32 years old, but his form is still good in my opinion.
