Leeds United have signed defender Tarik Muharemovic from US Sassuolo Calcio in a permanent transfer, with Juventus set to benefit financially from the deal. The transfer was completed on July 16, 2026, and will see Juventus receive a sell-on fee as part of the agreement made during Muharemovic’s initial move to Sassuolo in August 2024. The financial impact for Juventus is estimated at €17.4 million, after accounting for associated costs.
Juventus Football Club S.p.A. confirmed the details of the sell-on fee in an official statement released on July 22, 2026. The agreement with Sassuolo stipulated that Juventus would receive 50% of any future sale of the Bosnian international, a clause that has now been triggered by his move to the Premier League. This influx of funds will provide Juventus with additional resources for their summer transfer window.
Muharemovic joined Sassuolo from Juventus in August 2024, but did not immediately establish himself as a regular starter. He gradually became a more prominent figure in the Sassuolo squad over the past two seasons, making 28 appearances in Serie A during the 2025-26 campaign. His performances attracted the attention of several clubs, including Leeds United, who were seeking to bolster their defensive options ahead of the new season.
The move to Leeds United represents a significant step up in Muharemovic’s career, offering him the opportunity to test himself in the highly competitive Premier League. Leeds will be hoping that the defender can bring stability and experience to their backline. The transfer also highlights the increasing financial sophistication of modern football, with clubs utilizing sell-on clauses to maximize revenue from player sales. This deal allows Juventus to profit from a player who is no longer in their squad, while providing Leeds with a potentially valuable asset.
