    Bosnia international Miralem Pjanic has finalised his new contract with Roma, which seems him committed to the club until 2018.

    The attacking midfielder has been one of the stand-out performers in Serie A this season and had been linked with a big-money summer switch.

    The likes of Barcelona and Manchester United were rumoured suitors of the 24-year-old, but he has now put the prospect of a summer move to bed with his signing of a new long-term deal.

    "I have never thought about leaving Roma," Pjanic told Sky Italia.

    "It's true that negotiations have been long, but also because this has been an important season.

    "I wanted to keep my concentration, without talking about the contract. But the club knew my will. We have found an agreement and I'm happy.

    "There have been offers from other clubs, but I prefer not saying who. I've always thought my future was here.

    "Rudi Garcia [Roma coach] counts on me a lot. I think I have made the right choice.

    Wow that is out of control to say the least. I actually watched the game and missed that. Insane.

    Delighted with that news. Pjanic is a class player. I thought Roma would really miss Lamela this season but Pjanic has stepped right in and played even better than Lamela was playing last season.

    Can't even mind who they were playing but it was towards the end of the season. Pjanic was absolutely unbelievable. He scored a goal where he danced by about 4 or 5 men, just took off and ran at the defence, 2 nutmegs on the way I think.

    Excellent player.

    Edit: It was against AC Milan in the Stadio Olimpico.

    Anybody watch Fiorentina v Torino? Very rarely watch Serie A but nothing else on so gave it a go. Brilliant second half with 4 goals and Torino missing a 94th minute penalty to get into Europe. Parma into the Europa League now

    After announcing in January that he would retire, Antonio Di Natale has changed his mind and will play with Udinese next season.

    I did not know this but the commentator during the Juventus Cagliari game mentioned that with Juventus getting 102 points they would become only the third European team to get 100 points from a 38 game league season. The other two were Benfica and Celtic with Celtic's 103 point haul under Martin O'Neill being the best total. :celt_2:

    Di Natale better not retire, the wee man has still got it. 17 league goals at his age is tremendous.

    Parma have been denied UEFA registration by FIGC to play in the Europa League because of failure to pay taxes. Parma is appealing to receive UEFA registration for the Europa League. Hearing will be May 28th. Torino is waiting for decision.

    Inzaghi is expected to be announced as Milan's new coach once an agreement is made with Seedorf regarding the termination of his contract.
