He is considered the leading playmaker in Serie A with a league-leading 28 assists over the past three seasons and is also a free-kick specialist.

"Juventus Football Club can today confirm that Miralem Pjanic has completed a permanent switch from Roma for a fee of 32 million euros," the Italian champions said on their website. (www.juventus.com)

"The 26-year-old has signed a five-year contract with the club."

Pjanic handed in an official transfer request on Saturday, which Roma confirmed on their website. (www.asroma.com)

The player informed his former club that he wished to activate a release clause in his contract that allowed him to leave for a pre-agreed amount, adding that he would pay 20 percent of the fee himself with Juventus making up the balance.
