Leeds United’s big move so far this summer was signing Harry Wilson on a free transfer, but Los Blancos are closing in on a much more lucrative deal.
MOTLeeds report that Tarik Muharemovic is close to signing for £34m. Half of his fee will go to his current club, Sassuolo, and the other half to Juventus.
The young centre-back impressed for Bosnia at the World Cup and could be one of the big transfer winners in this summer’s competition. Sunderland and Bournemouth have also been linked, but Leeds appear to be further ahead.
Shay Charles wanted by Leeds despite high bid for Bosnia international
The article stresses that any deal for Muharemovic will not affect Daniel Farke’s side’s long-standing interest in Southampton’s Shay Charles.
The midfielder’s bid is up to £30m, but he could get both if his offer is accepted. The sale of Pascal Strujk to Brighton will free up some liquid spending money and allow the team to continue rebuilding.
Signing both would make Leeds very interesting players for next season.
