The tug-of-war over young Bosnian defender Tarik Muharemovic is heating up, with Sassuolo CEO Giovanni Carnevali confirming that multiple clubs are engaged in talks over the player's future.
Muharemovic joined Sassuolo from Juventus when the club was competing in Serie B and quickly established himself as a key figure, helping them earn promotion back to Italy's top flight. Juventus retained both a buy-back clause and a sell-on clause in the original transfer, giving them significant leverage. But the defender's impressive performances have attracted interest from beyond Turin.
"We're talking to several clubs about Muharemovic, not just Marotta," Carnevali told reporters, as cited by Calciomercato — a reference to Inter Milan president Giuseppe Marotta that confirms the Nerazzurri are among the serious suitors. The growing competition could force Juventus into a quicker decision than they might have preferred.
The Bianconeri now face a strategic choice in the coming weeks. They can exercise their buy-back option at a relatively modest fee, bringing Muharemovic back into a squad that already features experienced defensive options. Or they can step aside and benefit financially through the sell-on clause if another club meets Sassuolo's asking price. With Inter Milan lurking as a direct rival, the decision carries weight beyond simple squad planning — it could mean strengthening a competitor at the top of Serie A.
