Juventus fans fume as Tarik Muharemovic shines in flying Leeds United start | OneFootball

Tarik Muharemovic has made an immediate impact at Leeds United, sparking anger among Juventus supporters who watched him leave without a first-team appearance. According to Leedsunited.news, the defender’s form has intensified debate in Turin over the club’s talent decisions.

Leeds built solid foundations in 2025 with James Justin for £10m, Dominic Calvert-Lewin on a free and Anton Stach for almost £20m, lifting them to 14th last season. This summer James Trafford, Nico Elvedi and Muharemovic arrived, and Leeds now look hard to beat. Muharemovic has started and finished all six matches in all competitions.

The Bosnia international, born in Slovenia and developed in Austria, was taken by Juventus from Wolfsberger. After two years and more than 60 outings for the club’s Next Gen U21 side, he moved to Sassuolo for £1.5m. He helped them win promotion before a £34m transfer to Leeds, having never featured for Juventus’ first team.

His strong start, since replacing Pascal Struijk and including Monday’s 4-1 win over Newcastle, prompted Juventus fans online to praise his potential and question the sale. Some described the decision as infuriating and cited a pattern of letting centre-backs go too early.

Recent defensive struggles at Juventus have sharpened that frustration, with supporters suggesting the club missed an opportunity.

There is consolation for the Old Lady. Juventus inserted a straight 50% sell-on clause when he left for Sassuolo, so Leeds’ £34m deal delivered £17m to Turin, and there could be interest from bigger clubs if his form continues.
