REPORT: Pjanic keen on Chelsea move?
Has Miralem Pjanic just dropped a massive hint as to his whereabouts next season?
AS Roma’s star midfielder liked a post on twitter today, in which he was being touted as Chelsea's new Juan Mata. Never mind that he doesn’t play anything like the Spaniard, Pjanic could be just what the Pensioners need to get their midfield ticking again.

Scorer of 9 Serie A goals and an incredible free-kick taker, the 25-year-old Bosnian has often been the life and soul of the Giallorossi’s midfield.
He’s been linked to the Blues a lot of late, and is said to be a target of Antonio Conte, the man many are touting to take over in West London at the end of the season.
Marina Granovskaia, the club’s chief negotiatior and one of Roman Abramovich’s key lieutenants at Stamford Bridge, is already reported to have spoke to Pjanic’s agent, with the Bosnian said to be enticed by the prospect of a move to Chelsea.
He won’t come cheap, however, with Roma’s Walter Sabatini recently negotiating a contract with Pjanic that has a €40 million release clause.
