Miralem Pjanic is reportedly set to take over from Arthur and wear the No. 8 shirt at Barcelona next season.

The report claims Pjanic could join in with full training on Monday ahead of a possible debut on Wednesday when Barcelona play their second pre-season friendly against Girona.

Pjanic watched Saturday’s match from the stands and has already said he can’t wait to get started at Barcelona after completing his switch from Juventus.
