Tarik Muharemovic - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Signs five-year deal with Leeds Muharemovic has joined Leeds United from Sassuolo on a five-year deal for an undisclosed fee, his new club announced.

Impact Muharemovic arrives off the back of a big year, having helped Bosnia and Herzegovina reach this summer's World Cup and making 33 appearances across all competitions for Sassuolo last season as the club settled back into Serie A, finishing 11th after their promotion. He began his career in Austria, making his professional debut for Wolfsberger AC, and needed just six matches there before Juventus moved to sign him, where he went on to earn his first senior caps for Bosnia and Herzegovina. He joined Sassuolo on loan in August 2024 and scored in only his second appearance, going on to help the club win Serie B and secure promotion back to Serie A. Rather than moving on after that promotion, Muharemovic stayed on with Sassuolo once his move was made permanent following 30 appearances. That form also carried into the international stage, where he was a key part of Bosnia and Herzegovina's run through Nations League and World Cup qualifying and the play-offs. He now arrives at Elland Road with 17 senior caps and Serie A experience at just 23, and is expected to be given an immediate route into Leeds' backline following Pascal Struijk's departure to Brighton after eight-and-a-half years at the club.

Game-high 11 clearances in loss Muharemovic made 11 clearances, won four duels, suffered one foul, and commited one foul in Wednesday's 2-0 loss to USA.

Impact Muharemovic's most notable involvement came in the 64th minute when Folarin Balogun raked him on the ankle during a challenge. After a VAR review, the U.S. striker was shown a straight red card, giving Bosnia a numerical advantage for the remainder of the match. Muharemovic recovered and continued playing, helping Bosnia push forward in search of an equalizer. Appearing in every stage of Bosnia's historic World Cup run to the knockout rounds, Muharemovic combined physical defending with composure on the ball and demonstrated the athleticism needed to compete against top international attackers.

Suspension over Muharemovic is no longer suspended and will be available to play in the knockout stages with Bosnia.

Impact Muharemovic had been sent off in the 80th minute against Switzerland for a harsh foul on Johan Manzambi and missed the group stage finale against Qatar as a result, but his suspension has now been served. Stjepan Radeljic had stepped in alongside Nikola Katic at center-back during his absence, with Muharemovic now ready to regain his spot in the lineup.

Sent off vs. Switzerland Muharemovic was sent off in Thursday's game against Switzerland.

Impact The center-back was sent off in the 80th minute with a harsh foul against Johan Manzambi when the playmaker was going clean through on goal. Muharemovic will miss the group-stage finale against Qatar on June 24, and it remains to be seen if he'll be able to play in the knockout stages.
