Barcelona have announced that newly-signed midfielder Miralem Pjanic has tested positive for the coronavirus.

The Bosnian  joined Barcelona from Juventus on a deal that could rise to be worth €65 million (£59m/$73m).

While Midfielder Arthur, meanwhile, went the other way for a second deal worth €72m (£66m/$81m) plus up to €10m in bonuses.

"Miralem Pjanic tested positive for PCR on Saturday, August 22 after suffering some discomfort. The player is in good health and is isolated at home," Barca said in a statement.

 

"For this reason, the player will not travel to Barcelona until 15 days later to join Barca."
