Bayern to battle Chelsea for star midfielder

Bayern Munich will reportedly rival Chelsea in the race to sign AS Roma midfielder, Miralem Pjanic this summer.

As reported by Gazetta World, Bayern are reportedly interested in the midfielder who is said to be available for around £30m, thanks to a buy-out clause in his contract with the Serie A side.

There is the potential for plenty of change at Bayern this summer as Pep Guardiola departs for the Premier League and Carlo Ancelotti arrives to take over the Bundesliga champions.

Chelsea are also keen on signing the midfielder and since the announcement of the upcoming arrival of new manager, Antonio Conte, Pjanic is just one of several players from the Serie A to have been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.
