CHELSEA'S hopes of landing Miralem Pjanic have hit a major snag with the midfielder not keen on a move to London, according to reports.
Blues boss Frank Lampard had lined up the Juventus ace as a potential summer transfer as he plots to bolster his squad.
Pjanic, 30, has attracted the attention of Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona and Manchester United with Juventus boss Maurizio Sarri prepared to let the player leave.

But reports in claim the Bosnian has already agreed to sign for Barca when the season is finally over.
Pjanic needed little convincing that his future belonged in LaLiga and believes his football is most suited to that of the Catalan giants.
Barca also wanted to bring experience to their midfield with a number of rising stars coming through the ranks.
A deal could also see Arthur head in the opposite direction on a season-long loan.
With competition for his signature rife, Lampard was willing to let Jorginho head to Turin to seal the deal.

Juve coach Sarri is a huge fan of the Italian having signed him at Napoli and during his time with the Blues.
But it appears Pjanic made it abundantly clear to Juve chiefs that a move to London did not interest him in the slightest.
Juventus signed Pjanic from Roma in 2016 for around £25m but he has allegedly failed to convince Sarri since he took over in 2019.
