Pjanic on the streets of London
Chelsea are planning to go head-to-head with Barcelona in the race for Juventus playmaker Miralem Pjanic, reports the Daily Mail.
Maurizio Sarri has been lined up to replace Antonio Conte at Stamford Bridge, and it's thought that the former Napoli boss is keen to bring Pjanic with him from Serie A.
The Blues could offer the Bosnian a significant increase on his current salary, with Juventus open to negotiations as they look to raise funds to sign Lazio star Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
The Italian giants are believed to want £70 million for Pjanic, as Barca also consider the 28-year-old as a potential successor to Andres Iniesta at the Camp Nou.

Enter your email + Subscribe Maurizio Sarri has handed Chelsea a massive summer shopping-list - but Napoli want to put a limit of how many of their players can follow him to London in his deal to leave the Serie A club.
The Blues are negotiating to release Sarri from his contract with the Italians and also to conclude a divorce settlement with outgoing boss Antonio Conte.
And are also having discussions with Sarri's agents over signings to rebuild a squad that won the FA Cup but missed out on the top four last season, a year on from being champions.

22.45 BST: We have discussed Barcelona full-back Jordi Alba's ongoing contract situation previously in this blog and with still no new extension offer from the club, the list of clubs swarming continues to grow.
Spanish outlet AS have named Tottenham as a potential landing spot for the frustrated Spain international. Spurs are very happy with Kieran Trippier on the right side but with Danny Rose's future at the club very much in doubt, Alba could be an option to slide into that starting left-back spot.
Barcelona's reluctance to offer Alba a new deal is puzzling as the 29-year-old is coming off one of his best ever seasons. Alba scored three goals and provided 12 assists this past season is thought to be valued at around £60 million.
Man United are another club that are often linked to the Spaniard, who is currently in Russia playing at the World Cup for Spain.
22.27 BST: After a breakout season at West Ham, could 19-year-old Ireland international Declan Rice be on the move?
Rice was a regular under David Moyes but the arrival of new signing Issa Diop from Toulouse and a new manager in Manuel Pellegrini could mean Rice could be the odd man out.
The Sun claim that Bournemouth and Crystal Palace are both mulling over offers for the young defender.
22:05 BST: Portuguese giants Benfica could be set to add Brazilian midfielder Gustavo Scarpa from Brazilian side Palmeiras.
According to the Portuguese newspaper A Bola , the Lisbon club is preparing an offer of â¬6 million for 60% of the economic rights to the 24-year-old.
The one-time capped Brazilian has not played for Palmeiras since March due to court disputes over salaries and image rights.
21. 28 BST: According to Spanish outlet AS, Real Sociedad could be eyeing a move for 21-year-old Newcastle midfielder Mikel Merino.
The reports go on to say that the clubs are negotiation over the former Dortmund man -- who would reportedly cost in the neighborhood of about â¬12 million -- and that Merino plans to accept the deal when he returns from holiday.
21.06 BST: Atlanta United coach Gerardo "Tata" Martino has responded to a recent report suggesting that Club America could make a $40 million offer for Atlanta United striker Josef Martinez.
Speaking after Atlanta's U.S. Open Cup loss on Wednesday, the Argentine manager told local radio station 92.9 The Game: "I think it's great that clubs like America seek out our players, that means Josef and the team are doing well and is a testament to this club. This is what Atlanta United wants."
Martino went on to say: "But I also think about the significance of Atlanta. Atlanta isn't a club that needs money. Atlanta doesn't need to sell."
Martinez has 14 goals in 16 league games for the Five Stripes but judging from Martino's comments it is unlikely the Venezuelan goalscorer will be sold this season, no matter the price.
20.38 BST: Newly-promoted Wolves have been busy and are expected to spend heavily this summer. The newest player they are being linked with is Porto star Yacine Brahimi.
The 28-year-old winger registered 12 goals and 10 assists last season for Porto and is being valued at around £26 million.
Wolves are keen to make their stay in the top flight a lengthy one and adding a dynamic player like Brahimi would be a good start.
20.02 BST: -- DONE DEAL -- Villarreal have announced the signing of Argentina and Everton defender Ramiro Funes Mori.
