Incoming boss lures £30m Chelsea midfielder target with secret phone call
CARLO ANCELOTTI has reportedly phoned Miralem Pjanic to convince him to join Bayern Munich and not Chelsea in the summer.
Miralem Pjanic is reportedly wanted by Antonio Conte and Carlo Ancelotti
Pjanic has been linked with a move away from Roma and has been attracting the attention of a host of top European sides.
Express Sport understands Chelsea's ongoing talks with Roma sporting director Walter Sabatini could hold the key to a deal for Pjanic.
"Carlo Ancelotti likes two or three of our midfield," he told newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport this month.
Pjanic is said to have a £30million release clause and is under contract for another two years at Roma, where he is reportedly one of the highest earners on £82,000 a week.
