The 23-year-old joined from Sassuolo in July for around £34 million and has quickly become a key figure under Daniel Farke. Liverpool, Inter Milan, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are all reportedly monitoring him.
Why Leeds Hold the Upper Hand
Muharemovic’s contract runs until 2031, leaving Leeds under no pressure to sell. Having invested heavily to sign him, they have little reason to cash in after only a few months at Elland Road.
His left-footed passing, strength and comfort playing out from the back make him a valuable asset in Farke’s system.
Which Clubs Are Interested?
Inter are believed to be the most serious suitors. They agreed personal terms with the Bosnia international last summer before talks with Sassuolo collapsed. Barcelona have followed him for some time, with Andreas Christensen’s future at Camp Nou uncertain.
Liverpool and Dortmund are also watching, though their interest is reportedly less advanced. Liverpool may need long-term reinforcements as Virgil van Dijk ages.
Our Take
Selling now would be an unnecessary gamble. Muharemovic is still adapting to the Premier League, and if he continues to start regularly, his value could climb well beyond the £60 million figure being mentioned.
Time is on Leeds’ side. With a long contract and no financial urgency, they can wait for the right proposal rather than react to January speculation.
