Xavi could discard one big talent amid Pjanic's rise in form (reliability: 4 stars)

Diario Sport

's rise in form, reports Diario Sport's Ivan San Antonio.

 is 'delighted' with the Bosnian in the preseason. The 32-year-old was on top level as Barca faced 

Both Pjanic and Nico are particularly great at playing as defensive midfielders. Given that 

 is the no. 1 in this position, Xavi has to make the choice.

Would you keep Pjanic and loan Nico out, or vice versa?

Xavi names one player he 'really liked' against Juventus -- it's not Dembele

 a lot and he was very good in midfield, he has a unique view of the stadium," 

"He is a great player and we will monitor his situation from here to the end of the market," the tactician added. 

Pjanic came off the bench in the second half with Barca leading 2-1. His game in midfield was impressive all around. 

As you may know, the 32-year-old was loaned out by Ronald Koeman last year before Xavi had a chance to see him. 

His performances may make Xavi keep him in the squad this season. 

'Did someone de-age Busquets?': Cules impressed with one youngster v Olot, Torre aside

The player perfectly understands Busquets' style of play and resembles the Barca veteran in many things.

"Did someone de-age Busquets and slap the name 'Nico' on his shirt? I'm not even kidding, the way Nico's passing between lines, even his action is oddly similar to Busquets. It's weird to see lmao."

"If Busi is leaving us after this season we should give more time to Nico to play in his position."

"Nico is officially the Busquets regen... 🤩."

"Nico needs to develop under Busquets. He may be the reason why we are hesitating to buy a defensive midfielder."

Swears, Koeman was too blind not to see Pjanic.
He believes in players with huge physique

PëRr¥🔵🔴

For passing and his vision it's fantastic but i doubt his tackling and duels

Pjanic without the ball is terrible! 
Our game with the ball is as important as our game without the ball. 

I remember a game in which he featured and couldn't even mark his man. he just stood aloof in the midfield and the opposition got their goal.

Nico can go on loan…I could  see Pjanic mad killer passes against Juve..he would really help us a lot this coming season..Koeman was too blind to see his qualities…

Di Maria is good but we have dembele, raphinia,fati,depay,auba, Lewandowski, Torres and lord brathewite too...so he don't really get much game time.

Jaya Sai Krishna

But DI Maria can play from midfield as well but thank God Barcelona have a good squad ahead of next season

Barcelona_Is_My_Bl🩸🩸d_(RL9)❤️💙❤️💙

Due to how Barça need trophy we need experience players like that of Pjanic most especially for Champions league 
I was just looking at Angelito DI Maria yesterday he’s still a good player Barça would have go for him when him offer himself to Barça 
but all is still well 
Xavi should Loan Nico and give Pjanic playing chance 
Because we all know that Ronald Koeman is not a good coach at all 
That’s why people believe Pjanic is flop 
Pjanic is not a flop player

I’m fine with loaning Nico for him to get more playing time but selling him is not an option 🔴🔵
