Why £30m Is A Fair And Square Deal For This Bosnian International – A Perfect Partner In Crime For Fabregas At Chelsea

So here it is! Just after Euro 2016 is finished, Chelsea’s new boss Antonio Conte will be traveling to London. Well, his appointment has optimized many Chelsea supporters and therefore, the expectations from the fans are way too high. Conte has been successful wherever he has managed; he has helped Bari to get a promotion to Serie A, 3 Serie A titles with Juventus and more.

The Italian gaffer will have to work on the Chelsea side right away as he will not have much time comparatively. A overhaul is surely required at the London side and to be very honest, many players are believed to be snubbed off from the side. In the 2015-16 season, Chelsea were one of the worst, but thanks to the composure of Guus Hiddink, they finished their campaign on the top half of the table.

Defence is the one area where the Italian will be looking to add some strength. It is obvious that Conte will try to implement his patent 3-5-2 formation in the initial stages, and will try more of his tactics later on. Midfield is the area which plays a major role in Conte’s 3-at-the-back formation and its very simple; when the wingers rush forward, the holding midfielders have to cover the back line in case of counter.

Now, talking about the transfers; many players from Serie A has been linked with a move to Chelsea and the likes of Pjanic and Nainggolan are supposedly the most wanted players for Conte. Talking specifically about the Bosnian midfielder Pjanic, it is reported that Chelsea are preparing a £30m bid for the playmaker, but is he worth the amount? Bet in Online Sportsbook, if you are sure that the Roma International can succeed at Chelsea.

I’d say, yes he is! Pjanic has always been an unsung hero for the sides he had played for. His 4 year tenure at France with Lyon was something extraordinary. He managed more than 100 appearances for the side and bagged 16 goals. During his time at Lyon, he was repeatedly watched by many European giants, but he eventually joined AS Roma.

In 2014, he signed a new contract with the Italians that will keep him at Rome until 2018. It is currently reported that he is earning £50,000 a week, but Chelsea are prepared to offer him a three-year contract of more than £65,000 a week. Talking about Chelsea in particular, I don’t think John Obi Mikel will play a role in Conte’s script, and besides that, it is heavily rumored that Matic might leave the Bridge this summer, so Chelsea do not have a tough midfield pair to be lined up with Fabregas.

Pjanic is an old school playmaker who loves to join the attacks and tracks back well in the time of counters. We, honestly feel that his vision and his passing abilities will surely complement Fabregas and the duo could easily be a hit in the league. Despite being more of a holding midfielder, he is highly regarded as a playmaker just because of his swift passing. The Bosnian scored 10 times last season for Roma in the league and created 80 chances, 10 out of which were converted as a goal and therefore, he joined the club of those few superstars, who reached the double figures in both goals and assists. He might lack the physicality aspect of the Premier League, but with the support of the defenders like Cahill and Zouma, there is always a room for improvement.

Pjanic has always remained under the shadows and joining Chelsea might give him the stage he truly deserves. Conte could use this 26-year-old at almost every midfield position, yes, he can play in almost every position! He has a natural eye for goal, but the Bosnian prefers to lay the ball to the teammates and the likes of Hazard, Willian and Diego Costa can easily benefits from this.

To be completely honest, £30m for Pjanic is a fair and square deal, also for Abramovic, this amount is bearable without any doubt. If Roma are ready to agree a deal in that region, Chelsea should not waste a single second to sign this Bosnian magician.
