Tarik Muharemovic nears Inter Milan move as talks advance

Inter Milan take the lead for Tarik Muharemovic after reaching a preliminary agreement

The opening move has been made, and in the chessboard of the transfer market, it’s often the most revealing one.

Inter Milan have taken a significant step toward signing Tarik Muharemovic, reaching a preliminary agreement with the player’s entourage. It’s not checkmate yet, but the Nerazzurri have placed themselves firmly at the front of the queue.

Inter Milan in pole position

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport via Fcinter1908, the club has already outlined the framework of a long-term contract, expected to run for around five years.

Muharemovic has impressed this season, seamlessly adapting from Serie B to Serie A and confirming his status as one of the most promising defensive prospects. His performances have not gone unnoticed across Europe, but Inter Milan have been tracking him closely for months and now appear ready to accelerate.

Sassuolo hold the key

Despite the progress, the deal is far from complete.

Sassuolo remain in control of the situation and are waiting to evaluate the best possible offer. 

The club is open to letting the player take a step forward in his career, but only under the right financial conditions.

CEO Giovanni Carnevali has hinted that interest from the Premier League could drive the price even higher, a familiar twist in modern transfer battles.

Juventus clause and player preference

A key variable lies in the agreement with Juventus, who hold a 50% sell-on clause. This could allow the Bianconeri to re-sign Muharemovic at a significantly reduced cost.

However, the player’s preference may tilt the balance. Muharemovic is reportedly more attracted by the prospect of joining Inter Milan and starting a new chapter rather than returning to his former club.

More than one target

Inter Milan’s interest in Sassuolo doesn’t stop there. The club is also monitoring Ismael Koné and could explore a combined deal, potentially including player exchanges to lower the overall cost.

The first brick has been laid, but the structure is far from complete.

Inter Milan have made their intentions clear, and now the next move belongs to Sassuolo… in a negotiation that could still twist before reaching its final shape.
