Ex-Juve Star Blasts Club for ‘Amateurish’ Transfer DealingsEx-Juve Star Blasts Club for ‘Amateurish’ Transfer Dealings Former Juventus star Miralem Pjanic has launched a scathing attack on his former club, accusing them of “amateurish” transfer dealings. In an interview with Italian newspaper La Repubblica, Pjanic expressed his frustration with Juve’s recent transfer strategy. The Bosnian midfielder, who left the club for Barcelona in 2020, believes that the Bianconeri have made a series of poor decisions in the transfer market. “The transfer dealings at Juventus have been amateurish,” Pjanic said. “They have made a lot of mistakes, and it shows in their performances on the pitch.” Pjanic pointed to the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo in 2018 as a prime example of Juve’s flawed approach. While Ronaldo scored goals for the club, Pjanic believes that his arrival disrupted the team’s balance and made them less effective as a whole. “The signing of Ronaldo was a big mistake,” Pjanic said. “He’s a great player, but he doesn’t fit into the way Juventus play. They should have focused on building a team around younger players.” Pjanic also criticized Juve’s decision to sell several key players in recent years, such as Matthijs de Ligt and Paulo Dybala. He believes that these departures have weakened the team and made them less competitive. “They have sold their best players and they have not replaced them with players of the same quality,” Pjanic said. “As a result, the team is now much weaker.” Pjanic’s comments are a sign of the growing discontent among former Juventus players. The club has struggled in recent seasons, finishing outside the top four in Serie A twice in the past three years. Their Champions League performances have also been disappointing, with the club failing to reach the semi-finals since 2018. Pjanic’s words are a wake-up call for Juventus. The club must address its transfer strategy and make some bold decisions if it wants to return to its former glory.
