Leeds United Find Breakthrough for Tarik Muharemovic Transfer as Huge Fee Agreed
Leeds are in pole position for the Bosnia-Herzegovina defender, with Juventus due 50% of the fee and rival Premier League clubs also interested.
- Leeds United agreed a £34.1m fee with Italian club Sassuolo for defender Tarik Muharemovic on Monday, though the 23-year-old has yet to complete a medical or finalize personal terms.
- Born in Ljubljana, the Bosnian began his career in Austrian football with Wolfsberger before joining Sassuolo in 2025 following a successful loan spell from Juventus. His path mirrors typical European defender development.
- Muharemovic played 32 Serie A games last season, scoring twice to secure an 11th-place finish for the newly-promoted side. Juventus is due to receive 50 per cent of the transfer fee, equating to approximately £17m.
- The defender would serve as a direct replacement for Pascal Struijk, who joined Brighton for £20m in June, despite Premier League rivals Sunderland and Bournemouth also showing interest.
- With personal terms pending, Leeds hope to finalize the deal before the Whites fly to the USA next week for their pre-season tour, marking manager Daniel Farke's second summer signing.
