Sassuolo set €25m price tag on Tariq Muharemovic | OneFootball

Sassuolo have set a significant price tag on their rising defensive star Tarik Muharemovic as interest from Italy’s elite begins to peak. According to a report by Calciomercato, the Neroverdi have valued the Bosnian center-back at €25 million, a figure that reflects both his rapid development and the high-profile nature of his suitors.

Inter Milan have identified Muharemovic as a primary candidate to rejuvenate their backline, potentially viewing him as the long-term successor to Stefan de Vrij. However, the Nerazzurri face stiff competition from Juventus, who are also closely monitoring the 21-year-old’s progress.

The Bianconeri are keen to bolster their defensive options with young, Serie A-ready talent, setting the stage for a potential Derby d’Italia in the transfer market.

The race isn’t limited to Italy, as the report notes that several clubs in England have also made enquiries about the defender’s availability. This international interest has emboldened Sassuolo to maintain a firm stance on their valuation, knowing that a bidding war could break out in the coming weeks.

With a €25 million barrier now established, any club looking to secure Muharemovic will need to move quickly and decisively. For Sassuolo, it represents another opportunity to turn a profit on a talented youngster, while for the giants involved, it is a test of how much they are willing to invest in one of the league’s most promising defensive prospects.
