Juventus Nears Muharemovic Deal Amidst Transfer Frenzy

Juventus is nearing a crucial agreement for defender Tarik Muharemovic, following Bosnia's elimination from the World Cup. The Bianconeri are in advanced negotiations with Sassuolo, a club previously managed by Juventus's new CEO Giovanni Carnevali, for a deal reportedly worth €18 million. This valuation includes a €16 million fee plus €2 million in add-ons, with Juventus retaining a 50 percent resale clause which values Muharemovic at €35 million.

Personal terms are also close to being finalized, with Muharemovic's camp reportedly agreeing to a five-year contract. His wages are expected to start at €2 million per year. Should this transfer proceed, he would be the first player from Juventus's Next Gen program to return permanently after his initial departure. He had previously been sold to Sassuolo for €2 million after two seasons in Serie C, accumulating 57 appearances.

Juventus appears determined to secure Muharemovic at the reported figures. However, they remain open to a potential €20 million sale if a foreign club tables a €40 million bid. This pursuit has led them to pause their interest in Jhon Lucumi, whose €28 million release clause is only valid for a few more weeks. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich is reportedly monitoring Gleison Bremer.
