Leeds United have completed the permanent signing of forward Armando Muharemovic from Serie A club Sassuolo, the club confirmed on Tuesday. The transfer comes after two seasons with the Italian side, where Muharemovic reportedly rediscovered his form after a difficult period in his career. Financial details of the deal were not disclosed.
Muharemovic joined Sassuolo in 2022, becoming a key part of their attacking lineup under manager Fabio Grosso. He expressed his gratitude to the club, staff, and supporters in a farewell message posted on his Instagram account, highlighting their support during a challenging time in his career. He thanked director Giovanni Carnevali and the Squinzi family for their trust, as well as his teammates and the club’s staff.
The 25-year-old forward originally came through the youth ranks at Atalanta before spells at several clubs in Italy’s lower leagues. He then moved to Croatia, playing for NK Osijek, where he began to attract attention with his goalscoring record. His performances for Osijek earned him a move to Sassuolo, where he has scored 11 goals in 64 appearances across all competitions.
Leeds will be hoping Muharemovic can add firepower to their attack as they aim to improve their performance in the Premier League following their recent promotion. The club is undergoing a rebuild under new management, and Muharemovic’s arrival represents a significant step in strengthening their squad. His ability to find the back of the net and his experience in European football could prove valuable for the team. The move provides Muharemovic with the opportunity to test himself in the highly competitive English top flight and contribute to a team with ambitions for success.
