Miralem Pjanic plays down exit talk

Juventus midfielder Miralem Pjanic has played down suggestions that he could leave Turin this summer.

Pjanic, 28, has been linked with both Chelsea and Manchester City ahead of the 2018-19 campaign, although Citizens boss Pep Guardiola recently denied that his team were interested.

A number of clubs are believed to be monitoring Pjanic's situation in Italy, but the midfielder has insisted that he is "happy" with the Old Lady.

"I am preparing for the new season and that is what is most important. I am happy with what I am doing here. I have read and listened to a lot of things that aren't true," Pjanic told reporters.

Pjanic joined Juventus from Roma in the summer of 2016, and has scored 15 times in 91 appearances for the Italian champions over the last two seasons.
