His transfer to Barcelona will be compensated with €60 million (plus bonuses worth five million euros), making him the most expensive football player in Bosnia's history.

The Little Prince, as Pjanic is affectionately called in Bosnia, will wear the jersey number 8, just as the Catalan legend Andres Iniesta did.
