Besiktas sporting director Ceyhun Kazanci reveals that Miralen Pjanic will return to Barcelona when his loan deal expires at the end of the season.

Miralem Pjanic is set to return to Barcelona when his loan deal at Besiktas expires at the end of the season.

After struggling for game time at Camp Nou, the 32-year-old moved to the Turkish giants on a temporary deal last summer and he has since made 24 appearances across all competitions.

However, Besiktas sporting director Ceyhun Kazanci has revealed that the Bosnia & Herzegovina international will not be extending his stay in Turkey.

"Pjanic has been on loan to our team since the beginning of the season. However, he will not play with us next year. [We] will start the season only with players who are suitable for our coach's game system," Kazanci told Turkish newspaper Fanatik.

Marca reports that Barca head coach Xavi has no plans to integrate Pjanic into his first-team squad next season, with a summer departure seemingly the most likely option.

Pjanic moved to the Catalan giants from Juventus in 2020 for around €60m in a part-exchange deal involving Arthur, and the midfielder still has over two years remaining on his contract at Camp Nou.
