Description

Miralem Pjanić (born 2 April 1990) is a Bosnian former professional footballer who played as a midfielder. Regarded as one of the best midfielders of his generation, he is considered to be one of the greatest free-kick takers of all time.

Pjanić started his professional career at Metz, playing there for one season. He signed for fellow French side Lyon in 2008, before joining Roma in 2011. During his time in Rome, Pjanić came to be recognized as one of the best midfielders in Serie A. In 2016, Pjanić joined Juventus, and was considered an integral player for the team, winning four league titles, two Coppa Italias, and being named in the Serie A Team of the Year for 2015–16, 2016–17, 2017–18 and 2018–19 seasons. He was also named in the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League Squad of the Season, for his role in Juventus's run to the final. Pjanić joined Barcelona in September 2020, also spending a year on loan at Beşiktaş. He signed with UAE Pro League club Sharjah in 2022. In 2024, he joined Russian Premier League side CSKA Moscow, following his departure from Sharjah. After leaving CSKA Moscow, he retired in 2025.

A former Luxembourg youth international, Pjanić made his senior international debut for Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2008, earning 115 caps and scoring eighteen goals until his retirement from international football in 2024. He represented the nation at their first major tournament, the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

In 2015, Pjanić was ranked 55th in The Guardian's list of "The 100 best footballers in the world". In 2019, he was ranked 50th in the same list.
