There have been reports that Pjanic’s future at Juventus is uncertain, following the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo this summer.
There are rumours that Juventus are seeking to recoup some of the £99million that they paid for Ronaldo by selling Pjanic, with Chelsea, Man City and Barcelona interested in the 28-year-old Bosnian playmaker.
However, Pjanic has slammed the reports, revealing he is paying no attention to the transfer speculation around his future but stopped short of saying he will definitely be staying at Juventus.
"I listen to a lot of things that are not true," Pjanic said, speaking to ESPN.
I'm cool. I'm preparing my new season. That's what's the most important

“What I did the last two seasons for Juventus was really great, and I am happy what I'm doing here.
"I am cool and I don't care about what they are writing because I listen and I read a lot of things, and a lot of things are not true."
Pjanic still has three years left on his contract with Juventus after signing for £28.5million in 2016.
He scored 5 goals and had 8 assists in 31 appearances for Juventus last season and has won back to back Serie A and Coppa Italia doubles with Juventus in the last two years.
Pjanic said that he is looking forward to playing with Ronaldo and believes the Portuguese captain will be able to reproduce he past achievements at Juventus.
"We are happy that he's there," Pjanic said.
"He won a lot of titles. He did big and great things, and I think he will continue like that.
“He's a great player, and I think he can help a lot his new club.
“I think he will give a lot to Juventus."
