Tarik Muharemovic hails Juventus lessons after £34m Leeds move | OneFootball

Leeds United have signed Bosnia and Herzegovina international centre-back Tarik Muharemovic from Sassuolo for £34m on a five-year deal, making him the club’s second most expensive signing ever.

“At Juventus, I learned a lot because I had the chance to train and to learn from Chiellini, from Bonucci, and obviously from great coaches like Allegri and my youth coaches,” he told LUTV.

“A lot of tactics but a lot of training only for defenders, so I am happy I passed it!”

Sassuolo initially took him on loan from Juventus. He joined Juve from Wolfsberger AC as an 18-year-old in August 2021, leaving without a first-team appearance but with nearly 100 youth outings, including for the Next Gen side.

He made 32 appearances for newly promoted Sassuolo in 2025-26, helping them finish 11th in Serie A.

“I played in Austria, I played in Italy and I dreamed of playing in the Premier League.”

“It was my dream to play and I am here. It is the best football that you can play in the Premier League. You know how physical it is, how fast a game can go, and here you never know who is going to win the game. I am really happy to be now in England.”
